Inscriptions and travel accounts show that pilgrims from beyond India have been visiting Bodhgaya since long. Today Bodhgaya is home to over sixty monasteries. This collection includes documentation of monasteries from Thailand, Tibet, Japan and Myanmar. Interestingly, Prof. Asher also photographed souvenirs associated with Mahabodhi temple that are profusely sold around the temple complex and are often taken home by devotees to continue to enjoy the benefits of their visit and share them with those unable to make the journey.
