'''Bakraur''', sometimes called '''Bakrour''', is a village located slightly east of [[Bodh Gaya]] in the state of [[Bihar]], [[India]]. It lies directly across the [[Phalgu]] River from the town of Bodh Gaya, where [[Gautama Buddha]] is said to have attained enlightenment.<br />
<br />
The village of Bakraur is believed to be the home of [[Sujata (milkmaid)|Sujata]], who is said to have fed [[Gautama Buddha]] milk and rice shortly before he attained Enlightenment.<ref name=prasoon07>{{cite book |last1=Prasoon|first1=Shrikant |title=Knowing Buddha : [life and teachings] |date=2007 |publisher=Hindoology Books|location=[Delhi] |isbn=9788122309638 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Us9wbjmvXfgC&pg=PT32&dq=sujata++bakraur&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwixi5rXp6_JAhUGzWMKHZs7Do8Q6AEINjAG#v=onepage&q=sujata%20%20bakraur&f=false}}</ref><ref name=dwivedi06>{{cite book |last1=Dwivedi |first1=Sunita |last2=Lama |first2=Dalai (foreword) |authorlink2=14th Dalai Lama |title=Buddhist heritage sites of India|date=2006 |publisher=Rupa & Co. |location=New Delhi |isbn=8129107384}}</ref>{{rp|32}} A [[Sujata Stupa|stupa dedicated to Sujata]] has been erected in Bakraur (photo).<br />
