| About Bihar Tourism |
|
Bihar is located in the eastern part of India. It is bounded by Nepal in the north, and is surrounded by the states of Uttar Pradesh to the west, Jharkhand to the south and West Bengal to the east. Bihar is watered mainly by the River Ganga but also the Saryu, Gandak and Sone. Part of the flat Ganges riverine plain, it is mainly an agricultural state. There's little by way of industry, service sector or infrastructure. The name Bihar is derived from Vihara meaning monastery and for visitors today Bihar
is important as the land where Lord Buddha (6-5th century BC), the
founder of Buddhism, spent most of his life, and where Buddhist
monasteries flourished. Today, remnants of this past can be seen at Bodhgaya, Rajgir and Nalanda. Bodhgaya is the most important Buddhist pilgrimage destination in the world,
