    Abstract

    The focus is on ritual activities beneath the bodhi tree now existing in Bodhgayâ, India. The dynamic interaction between locally lived religions, long-distance pilgrimage and global tourism has increasingly become tangible here, where a single tree has become the focal point of various narrative traditions, ritual gestures and material-emotional culture.
