The National Board for Wildlife’s Standing Committee granted authorisation for the construction of the ropeway at its 72nd meeting, which included a visit to the Mundeshwari Temple. This was due to the efforts of Union Minister for Environment, Forestry, and Climate and Buxar MP Ashwini Choubey. He presided over this board meeting on Tuesday at Indira Paryavaran Bhawan in Delhi.

There will be use of 1.309 hectares of forest land in the Kaimur Wildlife Sanctuary to build a ropeway transport system to the temple in the Bhagwanpur block in the Kaimur district of Bihar state. This subject was also covered earlier in the board meeting. There is only one convenient way to reach this tourist attraction inside the sanctuary’s perimeter — by going through the sanctuary.

The ropeway’s development will make it incredibly practical and simple for worshippers to visit Maa Mundeshwari Dham. It should be noted that the Kaimur Wildlife Sanctuary spans a total area of 1504.9 sq km. The local MP and Union Minister Choubey met with the officials about this on the most recent field trip. He predicted that the number of devotees in this area would greatly increase once the ropeway was built.

As for the temple, it is the first example of Bihar’s temple architecture in the Nagara style. The temple has been renovated as per the Union Ministry of Culture’s instructions to the Archaeological Survey of India. Other projects included installing solar-powered lighting, setting up antiquity exhibitions, and building public amenities.
