Buddha lived much of his life in Magadh. Therefore, as Buddha’s karma bhumi, present day Bihar state of India is the land of Buddhist world. It is most sacred place for Buddhists and Hindus (who consider him to be the ninth reincarnation) worldwide and the pinnacle of ''ancient wisdom and civilisational achievements'' to be proud of for the people of Bihar and India.

The portal “Bihar, the Land of Buddhist World’ aims to provide an accurate information about the pilgrimage sites in Bihar covering significance of the sites in terms of association with Lord Buddha’s life that Emperor Ashoka invariably commemorated by building monuments. It also aims to spread awareness about ideas and messages of Lord Buddha and Emperor Ashoka among the laypeople of Bihar and to forge ‘Bihari identity’ based on supremely evolved civilisational legacies of Lord Buddha and Emperor Ashoka thereby consolidate a sub-nationalistic feeling of belongingness to Bihar that is strong enough to subsume caste identities, so as to foster growth of forward looking, confident and successful personalities who are clear of their identities and take healthy pride in who they are and who could prioritize to engage in wealth creation as entrepreneurs, innovators and industrialists to pull Bihar out of economic backwardness.
