As of as of 2003, the Maha Bodhi Society of India's general secretary is Dombagoda Rewatha Thero. On September 27, as of 2004, B. K. Modi was elected president; he was previously vice-president.
[10] Modi was, until recently, an office-holder in the Vishwa Hindu Parishad.
At the same meeting, the 14th Dalai Lama was given the new title of chief patron.
The Mahabodhi society at Colombo was founded in 1891 but its offices were moved to Calcutta the following year. One of its primary aims was the restoration of the Mahabodhi Temple at Bodh Gaya, the chief of the four ancient Holy sites to Buddhist control.[7][8] To accomplish this Dharmapala initiated a lawsuit against the Brahmin priests who had held control of the site for centuries.[7][8] After a protracted struggle this was successful with the partial restoration of the site to the management of the Maha Bodhi Society in 1949.[
