Sujata Garh, Buddhist stupa in Bakraur village, Gaya district, India

The Sujata Garh stands on the eastern bank of the Phalgu River, featuring traditional Buddhist architectural elements and structural reinforcements from different periods.

Built in the 2nd century BCE, the stupa contained archaeological finds including Dark Grey polished wares and a punch-marked coin from an adjacent monastery.

The monument commemorates the milkmaid Sujata who offered rice and milk to Gautama Buddha, marking the end of his seven-year fasting period.

Visitors can reach the monument by walking twenty minutes from Bodh Gaya, with local guides available to explain the historical context of the site.

An inscription from the 8th-9th century CE links the Pala dynasty king Devapala to the stupa, indicating later construction phases at the site.
