Bakraur is a small village on the banks of the Niranjana River, just east of Bodh Gaya, known for its connection to Sujata, who offered milk-rice to Buddha before his enlightenment. The main attraction is Sujata Stupa, but the village itself offers a glimpse into rural Indian life with its fields, ponds, and traditional mud houses. Visitors can walk through the village, interact with locals, and enjoy the peaceful countryside. The area is also home to several small temples and monasteries.
