The Mohana River is a tranquil tributary of the Falgu, meandering through the outskirts of Bodh Gaya. Its banks are lined with lush greenery and occasional temples, offering a quiet escape from the town's bustle. Visitors often stroll along the unpaved paths, watching local fishermen cast nets or children splashing in the shallows. During monsoon, the river swells dramatically, but in dry months it becomes a gentle stream. The area is especially lovely at sunset, when the sky turns orange over the water, and the sound of temple bells drifts from nearby villages.
