Sujata Stupa is an important Buddhist monument located at Bakraur village near Bodh Gaya in Bihar. It marks the place where Sujata, a village maiden, offered milk-rice (kheer) to Gautama Buddha when he was weak from extreme asceticism. This offering helped Buddha regain strength and led him to follow the Middle Path before attaining enlightenment. The stupa symbolizes compassion, generosity, and a turning point in Buddha’s spiritual journey. The site is peaceful and surrounded by rural landscapes near the Falgu River. Archaeological remains indicate ancient worship and pilgrimage activity at this location. Buddhist pilgrims from many countries visit Sujata Stupa as part of the Bodh Gaya circuit. Sujata Stupa continues to represent kindness and balance in Buddhist philosophy.
