Buddhism has flourished in many places. and one of them was in Odisha.. In 6th century BC, it found its quiet destinations in Lalitgiri & Ratnagiri. Here, hidden from mankind for centuries lies a remarkable piece of history written in stones. In Ratnagiri, Udayagiri, Langudi and Lalitgiri Buddhism relics still echo centuries old culture and art which leaves us in awe.
The Maha Bodhi Society of India was founded by Anagarika Dhammpala in May 1891 for the purpose of resuscitation Buddhism in India and of restoring the ancient Buddhist shrines at Bodh Gaya, Sarnath and Kushinara. Having its headquarters in Kolkata its main attention has been paid in the restoration and revival of the glory and sanctity of Bodh Gaya. For this he founded the society's first centre at Bodh Gaya.
Then centers were established in Sarnath , Sanchi, Lucknow , Odisha ( Bhubaneswar), New Delhi , Chennai , Ajmer , Bangalore etc. The yeoman services rendered by the Maha Bodhi society for the spread of loving kindness, promotion of mutual understanding and goodwill and strengthening of peace is keenly felt in the present times than ever before. The Global Buddhist community is now looking towards the Maha Bodhi Society of India , which can play a pivotal role in leading the world towards peace based on Buddha's teachings about value based living and human kindness. The Mahanodhi Society's Odisha Center at Bhubaneswar is working since more than one decade.
