In ancient Indian history the country is said to have a fountainhead of spiritual knowledge in the world. Great prophet, masters and incarnations have been born here to spread the true knowledge from time immortal. The Sanskrit word `Bodh` literally means knowledge. Buddha thus means `The one who has attained all knowledge`. Proper knowledge can stop all the conflicts. The internal and external level of conflict can be solved by the right knowledge. Once the conflict withdrew, the peace can be found and pleasure can be achieved. There are four principal Buddhist pilgrimage sites where most of the Buddhista temples and holy places are located. The most important of these are located primarily in the Ganges Valley of India. Buddhist temples in India are the physical expressions of the religion that took birth in India. It spread its wings to the far away lands speedily.
