Maya Sarovar in BodhGaya is shaping up as the new attraction for tourists – domestic as well as foreigners. The campus will have various types of entertainment along with eateries.


Bihar state tourism department has awarded the tender to ‘New Travel In Style’, who are a group of individuals from Bodh Gaya.


To quote Bodh Gaya Travel Association President Suresh Singh, “We had applied for the tender floated by the state tourism department for Maya Sarovar and it has been awarded to us. We have plans to develop the campus so that tourists can enjoy the place.”


About the plans Singh said, “Statues on different stages of the life of the Buddha will be installed on the campus which will be made from fibre, which would be brought from outside the state. There will be cafeteria, fast food and ice-cream stalls on the campus. We are also planning to provide facility of fishing to the visitors from the big pond on the campus. Visitors will have boating facility and there will be oars instead of paddles for rowing the boats.”


For entertaining visitors, there will be light and sound shows, musical & cultural programmes. The light and sound programme on the life of Buddha will be organized on a water screen created by the water fountain.


The campus of Maya Sarovar was developed by CPWD and was handed over to the state government. There is a park, big pond and an open gallery on the campus spread in about five acres. The state Chief Minister Nitish Kumar unveiled it in 2010 and it is open for public since then.
