Detailed explanation-1: -During his last sermon, Buddha himself mentioned the four most important places for the Buddhist ‘Dharma Yatra’-Lumbini, where he was born, Bodhgaya, where he gained enlightenment, Sarnath, where he preached his first sermon, and Kushinagar, where he achieved Mahaparinirvana.
Detailed explanation-2: -This extraordinary place-Bodh Gaya-is understood to be the site of the enlightenment, or “great awakening” (Sanskrit, mahabodhi), of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha. It was here that Siddhartha Gautama sat in meditation under the Bodhi tree, having renounced his princely life to wander and practice asceticism.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lumbini was the birthplace of Lord Buddha. Bodh Gaya was the place where he got his enlightenment. Sarnath is where he delivered his first sermons after the enlightenment. Kushinagar was the death place of Gautama Buddha.
