Lord Buddha attained enlightenment under the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi in India, and what you see in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka is a sapling of the same tree. So, this sacred tree is certainly one of the most ancient trees in the world that is over 2550 years old. No matter when you visit this sacred site, it will be fully crowded with visitors. However, a visit amidst the crowd is still worth it. Make sure you wear decent clothes (white or light colour clothing that does not reveal shoulders and knees) when you visit the sacred Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi.
