English: Enlightenment Stupa : Siddhartha sat for forty-nine days under a ficus religiosa tree (also called a bodhi tree), having made the firm resolution to find the truth that would liberate beings from suffering. This stupa marks his realization of enlightenment when, on the dawn of the forty-ninth day, the one who became known as The Enlightened One understood the truth of suffering and its origin as well as its cessation. Also known as the "Stupa of the Conquest of Mara"
