The Niranjana River is about 250m east of Mahabodhi Temple.
Prince Siddhartha crossed this river to reach the Bodhi tree. It is said
that the Buddha sent his begging bowl upstream in this river. He made a
solemn declaration that if he was to become the Buddha, the bowl
would float upstream and join those of the previous Buddhas. The bowl
floated upstream as he desired. Gaya and Bodh Gaya are the most famous
and important locations on the banks of the Niranjana River.
