Pitripaksha Mela 2008: BSTDC Offered Attractive Tour Packages To The Pilgrim-Cum-Tourists
The fortnight long Pitripaksha Mela, set to start from September 14, is likely to be a different sort of religious fair this year. Not only is it going to be a hi-tech affair, but the Bihar State Tourism Development Corporation has also offered attractive tour packages to the pilgrim-cum-tourists from all over the country and abroad.
The Gaya district administration has decided to introduce a new system to register complaints and suggestions of pilgrims coming to Mela through SMSes. The district magistrate of Gaya, Sanjay Kumar Singh, has asked the Telecom department officials to welcome pilgrims by SMS message on their cell phones. About half a million Hindus from India and abroad are likely to converge to Gaya, Bodh Gaya and adjoining places to offer salvation to the dead souls of their relatives. One can get all information about packages and facilities on FM radio from August 15. The district magistrate said that the publicity and announcement about Mela would be made on the FM radio. For the pilgrims from outside the state, the tourism department has planned to make information available at railway stations in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal.

A number will be displayed with the SMS for pilgrims to register their complaints and suggestions. All the SMSes will be recorded in the district control room. Besides, sealed complaint boxes would be placed at different places.
Health camps would be set up at 14 places including Gaya railway station, near Jail Press, Mofussil police station, Vishnupad Temple park, Ramshila More, Preetshila etc. Apart from this the Bihar State Tourism Development Corporation will be offering tour package to the pilgrims so that they may not be fleeced by the Pandas and local middle-men. The BSTDC has tied up with a group of Pandas to offer Puja at a fixed price. It will also arrange tour of Bodh Gaya, Nalanda, Rajgir and Patna during the Pitrapaksha Mela. There will be four tour packages for the Mela. While two to three days tours will originate from Benaras, Gaya and Patna the day-long trip to Gaya will begin from the state capital. According to tourism secretary, Rashmi Verma, visits to the tourist spots and monuments in the Pitripaksha packages have been added to attract tourists from other states. They will definitely like to see Mahabodhi Temple, ruins of Nalanda University and other such places. Source: Bihartimes 19/Aug/2008
