VLOG_2 || Place to visit📍 DIKSHABHUMI , NAGPUR

A religious monument for Buddhism, the Deekshabhoomi is one of the most famous pilgrimage centres for Buddhist in India. Undoubtedly an important tourist attraction of the City of Oranges, the Deekshabhoomi was built at the place where Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar, the architect of Indian constitution went back to Buddhism on October 14, 1956, along with his 60,000 followers.
Millions of Buddhist pilgrims visit this place every year and the number is exceptionally more on Mass Conversion Ceremony Day or Dhamma Chakra Pravartan Din and of course on the 14th of October when Ambedkar embraced Buddhism as his religion. Deekshabhoomi is the biggest stupa in Asia and is visited by Buddhist from other countries too.
The word ‘Deekshabhoomi’ has originated from two words ‘Deeksha’ and ‘Bhoomi’. Deeksha means the act of ordaining while bhoomi means ground. This means Deekshabhoomi is the ground on which people got ordained to Buddhism. Such a mass conversion at one place was first of its kind in the entire history of mankind.
