convenience. The site is being visited by many pilgrims/tourists (national/international).

of India and the State Government of Bihar promote the site through their Tourism
Departments. An NGO has also proposed a scheme for constructing the tallest statue in the

conducted by the Bodhgaya Temple Management Committee (BTMC).
