The visits in the register.
Reported tourist arrivals in Bihar and Rajgir, with annual and partial-year records kept separate.
An arrival is a counted visit. It is not necessarily a different person, and an eleven-month record is not a full year.
01 / BIHAR
Three records.
Several gaps.
The Times of India’s 15 July 2026 report attributes these numbers to Bihar’s Tourism Minister. Only the periods actually supplied appear here. The January–May 2026 record is kept partial; no annual total is projected from it.

Missing 2021–2024 observations are missing. A separate Ministry of Tourism compilation reports 56,38,024 domestic visits for 2020, against 56,44,524 here—a difference of 6,500. Definitions or compilation coverage have not been reconciled, so the two are not merged. Comparison source ↗
