Bodhgaya, Jan 21 (ANI): Scores of Buddhists from Thailand took out a procession on Tuesday in Bodhgaya.
Dressed in their traditional attire, a large number of Thai people including monks, marched to the Mahabodhi temple in a procession, singing hymns and praying along the way.
"The purpose of these people is to follow the path propagated by Lord Buddha," said Raj Prasad, a resident.
The Thai guests also offered prayers for world peace and harmony.
Buddhist scriptures describe Bodhgaya as the Navel of the Earth, and 100,000 pilgrims and tourists visit every year, packing the town and its Mahabodhi temple. (ANI)
