Excitement builds in Bihar as the first-ever Shiv Corridor in Sultanpur, Bhagalpur, moves closer to reality following the settlement of a key land dispute with railways. Modeled after the majestic Kashi Vishwanath setup, this initiative will redefine pilgrimage in the region.
The district administration’s decision to provide 17.47 acres in three parcels—spanning Jagadishpur, Barari, and local areas—has smoothed the path. With papers sent to revenue officials for approval, project timelines are firming up.
Adding to the momentum, plans to channel the Ganga towards the heritage ghat are advancing via the Water Resources wing, ensuring the site remains vibrant and reachable year-round.
The corridor’s ripple effects will touch every facet of life in Sultanpur. Devotees gain from superior safety, seamless darshan, and plush facilities. The tourism boom will invigorate local markets, create jobs, and spotlight Bihar’s rich devotional legacy, drawing parallels to India’s most revered temple towns.
