The depictions of the โ˜ธ Buddhist Temples you see today ARE NOT what they used to look like and represent modern architecture instead of the original designs.

Rare photograph of the Mahabodhi temple before its restoration. Captured in 1879.

The Mahabodhi temple complex is one of the four holy places associated with the life of Buddha. The first temple was built by Emperor Asoka in the 3rd century BC, while the current one dates from the 5th or 6th century. It is one of the earliest surviving all-brick Buddhist temples in ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ India, dating from the late Gupta period.
