Buddhist Shrines in India

Buddhist Shrines in India by Devapriya Valisinha is a concise guide to the most important Buddhist sacred places in India. Published in 1948 by The Maha Bodhi Society of Ceylon, the book introduces the four principal pilgrimage sites associated with the life of the Buddha—Lumbini, Buddhagaya, Sarnath, and Kusinara—as well as other significant centres such as Rajagaha, Nalanda, Sravasti, Kapilavastu, Sanchi, Ajanta, and Ellora. Combining religious devotion, historical information, and practical guidance for pilgrims, the work serves as a valuable introduction to India’s Buddhist heritage and sacred geography.
