In Bodhgaya
Beggers in the streets. They spend their whole days sit on the ground, waiting.
Bikki. Good local friend.
Mahabodhi temple
This days there is a puja (ceremonies) for Nyingma monks (a Tibetan lineage) around the temple.
The Mahabodhi tree. The actual one is supposed to be an ancestor of this one.
A Tibetan friend told us that many of them are fake - paid to wear a monk's dress- in order to show up.
