The Bodh Gaya Temple Act, 1949 (Bihar Act 17 of 1949), is the Bihar state legislature's own statute establishing the management committee that governs the Mahabodhi Temple at Bodh Gaya. As the primary legal text itself, it is fully authoritative for what the law actually provides, its committee structure and its jurisdiction, which is exactly the fact this atlas cites it for. It is not a scholarly or historical account of the temple's religious significance, the site's history, or the ongoing disputes over the Act's Hindu-Buddhist management balance, all of which need a separate historical or legal-analysis source.
