Pat Feb 17 (IANS) Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena Tuesday visited Bihar's Bodh Gaya and prayed at the Mahabodhi temple amid tight security, police said.
Gaya District Magistrate Sanjay Kumar Agrawal said Sirisena, who is here on a day-long visit, offered special prayers and circumambulated the Mahabodhi tree under which Lord Buddha is said to have attained enlightenment.
The 1,500-year-old Mahabodhi temple is considered a life time destination for millions of Buddhists across the World.
