India has always been a delight for tourists, specially those interested in history, culture and religion. For Buddhist tourists, India is the land of Buddha, for it was here, in a small town of Bodh Gaya, that the great prince Siddharta attained enlightenment and became Buddha. Years later, it was again in India that an ambitious king Asoka renounced everything and took refuge in the preachings of Buddha. He sent his emissaries to different parts of the world so as to spread the message of peace and harmony and the religion of Buddhism.
