About the Book:
This multilayered historical ethnography examines Bodh Gaya, the sacred site of Buddha’s enlightenment in Bihar, and its transformation into a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002. The book explores the spatial politics that emerged as the town shifted from an agriculture-based economy to a global pilgrimage and tourist destination attracting hundreds of thousands of Buddhist devotees and visitors each year. It highlights the conflicts, negotiations, and politics of meaning that arose among Bodh Gaya’s diverse communities in the wake of rapid change. With its focus on religion, heritage, and cultural politics, this volume provides deep insights into the contemporary significance of Bodh Gaya as both a spiritual and contested global space.
