Today I took a train ticket for Kolkata. I'll leave monday in the night for the urban hell.

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.




















A very quiet Hindu cemetery

It is quite big, just in front of Mahabodhi temple, but no one goes there, except Tibetan monks urinating between ceremonies...
