Vishnupad Temple

Reviewed By jaykodoth

Great visit. People from different parts of India visit the place for the after death rituals. But, beware of the priests out there. They will loot you in the name of god.

Pind Daan Gaya

Reviewed By bvkb2015 - Ashburn, United States

We (Three brothers) visited Andhra Telangana Bhawan in Gaya to perform annual ritual to our father and forefathers. We had a very friendly and a warm experience. G MANOHAR LAL – Current patron of Andhra & Telangana Bhawan Gaya, their family is in Gaya, and has been serving pilgrims across the nations especially from south India. When you visit Gaya, be aware of similar names, make sure you have the right address and contact prior to the travel. Manohar ji was very helpful for us, polite and respectful in guiding us with every step during the pind daan ritual as promised, cost was very reasonable and most importantly he could is a trust worthy person. highly recommend their service. They also provide rooms with a/c.

We climbed the path on the hillside to the Mahakala caves (Dungeshwari cave). There are three caves. The central cave is where it is believed Siddhartha meditated.In this cave we offered candles, meditated and some made monetary donations. There is a statue of the emaciated Buddha in meditation posture. Another cave contains a golden Buddha. A statue of Hindu goddess ‘Dungeshwari' is also found in the cave temple.
