Location
The Bodhi Temple is surrounded by various shrines and articles that were purified by the pious presence of the Lord. One of the pathways which was utilised by Buddha during the third week of enlightenment, for the purpose of meditation is the Cankamana.
Lying towards the northern fringe of the temple complex the spots that were blessed with the Lord’s feet have been carved into black stone lotuses. The entire walkway and surroundings are serene and calm. Moreover, the path is considered sacred and worshipped alongwith the images of the Buddha. The presence of monks and Bhikkus and their continuous chants create an amazing atmosphere in the vicinity of the spot.
