One of the oldest documented trees in the world is found rooted at Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi, a sacred fig tree revered as a living link to Buddhism’s earliest days. Grown from a cutting of the original tree under which enlightenment is believed to have been attained, this hallowed site is visited by pilgrims from across the globe. Prayers, offerings, and quiet devotion are witnessed daily beneath its sprawling branches. Deep spiritual significance and profound tranquillity are experienced at this extraordinary sanctuary in Anuradhapura.
