The Bihar government on Monday decided to allocate ₹13.38 crore to develop a museum and a theme park on the life of the 10th Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh.

The facility will come up at Prakash Punj, a multi-purpose complex being constructed by the state tourism department over 10 acres of land at Patna Sahib at a cost of about ₹50 crores. It will have an auditorium, two exhibition halls and galleries apart from other facilities for tourists and visitors.

“The government decided to have a museum and theme park where one can witness the life and works of Guru Gobind Singh and other Sikh Gurus,” Bihar tourism minister Narayan Prasad said.

Guru Gobind Singh was born in 1666 at Patna Sahib.

Mahendra Pal Singh Dhillon, general secretary of the Takht Sri Harmandir Sahib Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee, said a big auditorium with the capacity of 900 people is also under construction at the three-storied complex.
