Marasa Sarovar Premiere, Bodhgaya
Ward No 5, Newtapur, Bodhgaya - 824231, Bihar
There are two distinct and unique architectural themes at play in the hotel design. The first is of Memory - where one tunes into the historical roots of Buddhist architecture rich with brick details such as vaults, corbelled arches and stepped jambs, which are all developed in a contemporary visual style to represent the present. The second architectural theme is Emotion - inspired by the Buddhist ethos of simplicity, compassion and serenity. These emotions are reflected by the structure and choice of material.
The five wisdoms of the Buddha - Abhaya, Dharmachakra, Varada, Dhyana, and Bhumisparsha are expressed in the public spaces - fearlessness, the wisdom of dharma, giving and sharing, unity with oneself, and oneness with the earth. These wisdom guide the spiritual journey from self to divinity and here they are expressed through symbolism and material in each space.

At our lobby and reception, you will find this wisdom in our choice of colour, material, lighting and art objects in the architecture and design elements of the space.

Courtyard
The long central courtyard is the heart of the hotel's architectural framework. It is open to the sky and is marked with corbelled arches on both sides with up lighting from the floor. At the centre of the courtyard, you will find a large urn. The courtyard leads you to the residential area looking towards the Peepal tree (symbolically Bodhi) in the centre and the gentle water body. The courtyard in its simplicity evokes feelings of beauty, joy and compassion.
There is a magical interplay of the natural light of the outdoors combining with the indoor lighting, which is spectacular at dawn and dusk

Bhumisparsha: Pool, Gym, Spa
The area covering the pool, spa and gym are associated with the Buddhist wisdom of Bhumisparsha meaning 'being one with the earth'. It signifies Dharma and nature being in tune with one another. It is also symbolic of the earth aspect of Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.
The pool, spa and gym area is landscaped with frangipani trees bearing white flowers and ferns which compliment the colour theme of blue, white and green in turn echoing the emotions and essence of serenity and tranquillity - the nature of Buddha's philosophy

The banquet and conferencing area celebrate the Buddhist wisdom of Dhyana meaning 'unity with oneself'. This is reflected symbolically through the use of lotus and peacock motifs in the interior design elements. The entire design vocabulary complements the symbolic association with Dhyana Mudra - the season of summer, the element of fire and the colour red.
The banquet and conferencing space measure an approximate area of 2100 sq. ft. and opens into a veranda. It looks into the large lawn area with Ficus trees and white flowering bougainvillaea creepers making it a beautiful place to hold outdoor gatherings and celebrations for all occasions.

Bodhgaya is a spiritual site, a place of holy pilgrimage by the banks of the river Falgu and is associated with The Maha Bodhi Temple in Gaya district, the state of Bihar, India. The Maha Bodhi Temple built by king Ashoka is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bodhgaya is where Buddha is said to have attained enlightenment or Nirvana. He sat under the Bodhi tree (commonly known as Peepal tree) for forty-nine days without moving thus obtaining enlightenment - the highest level of consciousness of mind and soul.
The term Buddha actually means “Enlightened One” Bhodhgaya is thus one of the holiest and most important Buddhist sites in the world.Every year, Buddha Jayanti or Budh Purnima - the Day of the Full Moon is celebrated to mark Buddha's Birthday. The day of enlightenment is celebrated as Bodhi Day. Since antiquity, Bodhgaya has remained the foremost site of pilgrimage and veneration for both Hindus and Buddhists across the world.
