Preparations are underway to give a new form to Bihar's rich historical and cultural heritage. Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary has instructed officials to prepare a detailed action plan for the conservation, scientific survey, and development of the state's major archaeological and religious sites. The government aims to transform historical sites like Bodhgaya, Sultanganj, Mandar, and Kesariya Stupa into national and international tourist attractions.

Recently, a delegation of senior archaeologists and experts met with CM Samrat Chaudhary. During the meeting, a detailed survey report of the Maa Mundeshwari Temple complex and surrounding areas in Kaimur was presented. The delegation included prominent experts such as Padma Shri Dr. K.K. Mohammed and Dr. Hariom Sharma, Superintending Archaeologist of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) Patna.

The Chief Minister has directed the scientific excavation of the remaining parts of Kesariya Stupa, one of the world's largest Buddhist stupas. Experts believe that only a portion of the stupa has been excavated so far, with significant archaeological remains likely present in the larger area. Additionally, a high-tech survey using modern techniques like LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) will be conducted around the Mahabodhi Temple complex in Bodhgaya to detect subsurface archaeological structures.

The meeting also discussed the development of natural and prehistoric sites in the Kaimur region, including Tilhar Kund and Karkatgarh. The government plans to develop all these sites in an integrated manner and work towards their inclusion in UNESCO's World Heritage List. Special emphasis is also being placed on the conservation and overall development of historical and religious sites in Sultanganj and Mandar to boost tourist numbers. CM Samrat Chaudhary stated that these efforts will promote religious and cultural tourism, create local employment opportunities, and strengthen Bihar's global identity.
