It was the seat of power of the Lichchavi kingdom - the first Republic of India. Muzaffarpur has innumerable historical sites and monuments. There are a lot of Buddhist Viharas and places of interest related to Lord Buddha. The natural scenic locations and backdrop of the hills makes it an ideal travel destination. |
