Who had attained enlightenment in Bodh Gaya?
Detailed Explanation:
Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment (Bodhi) in Bodh Gaya (modern-day Bihar) under the Bodhi tree around 528 BCE, becoming the founder of Buddhism.
Mahavira (24th Tirthankara) attained Kevala Jnana in Jrimbhikagrama, Parshvanath (23rd Tirthankara) on Mount Parasnath, and Simandhar Swami is a revered figure in Jain cosmology—none associated with Bodh Gaya.
Therefore, Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment in Bodh Gaya, making Option 2 the correct answer.
