Bodh Gaya is a major Buddhist pilgrimage site in India, known for the Bodhi tree under which the Buddha gained enlightenment.
Young men from Meghalaya, a state in far eastern India, get ceremonially dressed in monks' robes near the Bodhi tree in Bodhgaya, Bihar, India. These monks go through a 'temporary vow' of 7-10 days before returning to society.
