About Bihar

Thai Temple Bodh Gaya

Ashoka Pillar Vaishali

Bihar's antiquity is evident from its name, which is derived from the ancient word "VIHARA" (monastery). It is indeed land of monasteries. Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, Muslim and Sikh shrines abound in this ancient land where India's first major empires rose to power. The ruins of the worlds' earliest university slumbers in the void of time. The passage of Ganges flow wide and deep enrich the plains of Bihar.
