Gautama Buddha left his footprints on the soil of India and his mark on the soul of mankind. Before he entered Nirvana the Buddha himself spoke of four places which pious believers ought to visit with feelings of faith and reverence.
The LUMBANIVANA where the tathagata was born, GAYA (BODH GAYA) where hoe reached perfect enlightenment; the Deer Park at SARNATH where for the first time he preached the law; and KUSHINAGAR where he reached the unconditional state of Mahaparinirvana.
