Kalachakra Pooja is called the Mahakumbh of Buddhist devotees. This spiritual practice is conducted to make the soul pure and strong for the attainment of Buddhahood. Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, initiated the 'Kalachakra Pooja' at Mahabodhi Temple in the holy city of Bodh Gaya, Bihar.

Gaya: Kalachakra means a cycle of time. Which is an important part of Tibetan Buddhism. It is also called the great ceremony of Tantra. Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, initiated the pooja supported by the Daksha Lamas. Apart from Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, Japan, Myanmar, Spain, Russia, Laos, Sri Lanka, Buddhist devotees and tourists from many countries participate in it.

Regarding Kalachakra Pooja, Buddhist devotees of Bodh Gaya say that Buddhists of Bhutan and Tibet worship Kalachakra with great faith. In this, Bhoomi Pujan is done by the Dharmaguru for the construction of the first mandala. After that, Mandala is constructed by Buddhist Lamas under the supervision of Dharmaguru by Tantric law. For this, the land is selected in the north-east direction. A pit is dug on the selected land and then it is filled with soil from this pit. It is believed that if the soil is more than the pit then it is auspicious. Whereas if it falls short then it is inauspicious.

Lamas dance in traditional costumes to keep the Mandal site away from evil spirits on the second day of worship. Then a holy line is drawn for Mandala. The construction of Mandala takes three days.
