据印度《PTI》2009年10月8日报道，位于印度比哈尔邦菩提伽耶摩诃菩提寺附近的佛祖证道时的菩提树，将成为印度比哈尔邦旅游的新标志。

Patna, Oct 8 (PTI) Bihar Tourism will now have a new logo carrying the image of a 'peepal' tree.

"This is the land of Lord Buddha who attained enlightenment under peepal tree," Tourism Minister Ram Pravesh Rai told PTI. "The logo will also help in promoting tourism in the state as an attractive brand."

The newly selected logo has been designed to represent Bodhi Tree -- the peepal tree near the Mahabodhi Temple at Bodh Gaya under which Lord Buddha attained enlightenment, he said.

The new logo was designed by a two-member team from National Institute of Design (NID), Ahmedabad. The insignia was selected out of three designs.

All the Bihar Tourism infrastructure, monuments, hotels, publications and vehicles would now carry this logo embossed on them, the minister said
