a circle of sacred trees in the east side of the circle a flat stone as seat uder a boddhi tree (ficus religiosa). other trees in the circle:

(in the first buddhist century there were no sculptures of the buddha a flat stone or a low seat indicated his presence)

the idea is a grove, a cultic place under trees, not a building.

the place at bodh gaya is the place where after the tradition buddha has his enlightment under a boddhi tree.

here are several temples, repress senting buddhist' cults from different countries
