Buddhist Pilgrimage

The Pilgrimage of Char-Dham was once known for visiting the four places viz. Lumbini, where he was born; Bodh Gaya, where he attained realization; Saranath, where he gave his first teachings; and Kushinager, where he passed away. Over the years now the concept has completely changed to visiting char-dham of Sankaracharyas.

Lots of evidence are available which mentions the Great place of Buddhist Worship viz. Tirupati Temple, Ernaculam Temple, vithoba of Pandharpur, Jagannath of Puri and many more which were successfully converted to Hindu Temples.
