Situated across the Phalgu river, the huge Sujata Kuti stupa marks the house of Sujata, the cow-herder who fed Buddha a bowl of kheer and ended his seven years of penance. A little further away is Sujata Mandir, the actual site of the banyan tree where Sujata offered the meal to Lord Buddha.
Carved out from a monolithic granite rock, these are supposed to have been constructed by emperor Ashoka for the use of Ajivaka ascetics.
Around 7 km from Bodh Gaya, on a hill, is located Pragbodhi. It is believed that the Buddha spent seven years living an austere life in a cave in this hill.
