World Heritage Monuments in East India
World Heritage Monuments in East India comprise the Mahabodhi temple, Himalayan railways and others.

Mahabodhi temple in BiharThe ethos of eastern India is mirrored in its monuments. Whether it is the temples, forts or palaces the craftsmanship of the World Heritage sites in East India is impossible to miss. The religious monuments of East India belong to different sects: Buddhists, Hindus and even Jains. Regions like Bihar, Darjeeling, Orissa and others are popular for the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in East India. The antiquity, spirituality and mysticism of these sites attract tourists from all over the world.

The beauty of the World Heritage Monuments in East India lies in the fact that they truly represent a multicultural India. While the Mahabodhi temple in Bihar belongs to the Buddhists, Sun Temple of Konark is dedicated to the Sun God; yet these two are amongst the World Heritage Sites because of their cultural importance. Another noticeable feature about Indian travel is the mountain railways. In places like Darjeeling, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Shimla and others these railways are quite common.
