Animesh Lochan Chaitya signifies the third week of Buddha's enlightenment. After attaining enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree, Buddha spent seven days at each of seven different spots. The third week was spent here, gazing unblinkingly at the Bodhi tree in gratitude. This unwavering gaze is known as 'Animesh Lochan,' meaning 'unflinching gaze.' The current structure, including the stupa, was built much later to mark the sacred spot. Over centuries, the site has remained a place of reverence for Buddhists worldwide, representing unwavering devotion and gratitude.
