Alan Trevithick's The Revival of Buddhist Pilgrimage at Bodh Gaya, published by Motilal Banarsidass in 2006, is a scholarly history tracing the revival of Buddhist pilgrimage to Bodh Gaya between 1811 and 1949 and the central role played by Anagarika Dharmapala's campaign to restore Buddhist control of the Mahabodhi Temple. Its strength is that it is a peer-reviewed academic study grounded in archival research on a pivotal episode in modern Buddhist history. Its limit is that its close focus ends at 1949, so a claim about the temple's later twentieth or twenty-first century management needs a more recent source alongside this history.
