Millions of pilgrims visit Deekshabhoomi every year,[6] especially on 'Dhamma Chakra Pravartan Din' (Mass Conversion Ceremony Day)[7] and 14 October, the memorial day when Dr. Ambedkar converted to Buddhism here. Ambedkar's final religious act was to embrace Buddhism.[6] Now, the biggest stupa in Asia is erected in his memory at the place.[8] Deeksha literally means 'act of ordaining'[9] and bhoomi means the 'ground'.[10] Deekshabhoomi means the ground where people got ordained as Buddhist. This religious mass conversion at one place was the first ever of its kind in history.[2] Deekshabhoomi is one of the two places of great importance in the life of Dr. Ambedkar, the other being Chaitya Bhoomi at Mumbai.[11] |
