Before attaining Enlightenment, the prince Siddhārtha Gautama practiced asceticism for six years Aprox on the banks of the river, residing in a forest near the village of Uruvilvā. After realizing that strict asceticism would not lead to Enlightenment, he recuperated after bathing in the river and receiving a bowl of milk-rice from the milkmaid Sujātā.
He sat under the nearby pippala tree, where he finally achieved Enlightenment. This tree became known as the Bodhi Tree, and the site became known as Bodh Gayā
About Sujata, was a milkmaid, who is said to have fed Gautama Buddha milk and rice, ending his years of fasting ascetism. Such was his emaciated appearance that she wrongly believed him to be a tree-spirit that had granted her her wish for having a child. The gift provided him enough strength to cultivate the Middle Path, develop jhana, and attain Bodhi, thereafter becoming known as the Buddha
