Initially was totally against the idea of even getting out of my home, leave alone visiting an unfamiliar city. However, gradually the idea caught on and finally I decided to take the trip.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I reached <a href=\"http:\/\/travelerfood.com\/food_delevery.php?stationid=GAYA\"><strong>Gaya Jn station<\/strong><\/a> on 4<sup>th<\/sup> Jan. The first thing that appealed to me about the city is its mix of ancient and modern structures that enhance its appeal. After freshening up at my hotel, I decided to explore the city, about which I knew nothing more than that it was the city where Lord Buddha attained enlightenment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hoping to attain peace of mind for myself, I went out and hired an auto rickshaw. The driver was a young guy named Shyamraj and I took an immediate liking for him because of his friendly attitude. He informed me that Gay is one of the few cities in India that is equally revered by Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims and Jains. I asked him about the prominent places to visit in the city and he told me about the same.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_806\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.travelerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Mahabodhi-Temple.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-806\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-806\" src=\"http:\/\/www.travelerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Mahabodhi-Temple.jpg\" alt=\"Mahabodhi Temple\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" data-id=\"806\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Mahabodhi-Temple.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.travelerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Mahabodhi-Temple-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.travelerfood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Mahabodhi-Temple-83x110.jpg 83w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-806\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Mahabodhi Temple<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Source :\u00a0http:\/\/bit.ly\/1Q7v5gq<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since Shyamraj was the only person I knew in the city and also because he seemed to be a decent and honest guy, I hired him as my guide for the next couple of days. He took me to the most prominent places in the city including the Bodhi Tree and Mahabodhi temple, Vishnupad temple, Hazrat Makhdoom Sayed Shah Darwesh\u2019s shrine and Sudama Cave to name a few.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0By the end of my third day in the city, I was a changed person.
