Gautama Buddha is said to have identified four sites most worthy of pilgrimage for his followers, saying that they would produce a feeling of spiritual urgency. These are:
- Lumbini: The birthplace of Gautama Buddha (in Nepal)
- Bodh Gaya: (in the current Mahabodhi Temple, Bihar, India), is the most important religious site and place of pilgrimage, the Mahabodhi Temple houses what is believed to be the Bodhi Tree where the Buddha realized enlightenment and Buddhahood.
- Sarnath: (formally Isipathana, Uttar Pradesh, India) where Gautama Buddha delivered his first teaching.
- Kushinagar: (now Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, India) where Gautama Buddha died and attained Parinirvana.
