As you know, we all have curiosity to know about various places. When we learn about a place, we also have to study the history of a place in order to get a better understanding of that place. When people visit a site of historical importance, lot of questions arise in mind. For example when you visit Nalanda, A.S.I. excavated site, it can generate anxiety about the time it was constructed, why it was used, who constructed it? What is the meaning of each structure, who was the students, where they stayed, where all the structures disappeared etc. 

For Example: The Temple at Bodh Gaya was built during the period of Gupta is a reminiscent of the past. When a tourist visits Bodh Gaya, the stories related to the life of Buddha, Enlightenment act as an added value. Historical evidence in the temple are the railings of Emperor Ashoka, The Bodhi Tree (Pipal Tree), and the temple built during the Gupta Period which also gives clues to the rich architectural heritage. The legends, historical facts and evidences add to the experience of visiting the Temple. Similarly the monolithic sculptures in Mahabalipuram are an example of crafts man ship and skill.
