Bihar

Bihar – India’s Land of Ancient Wisdom
A cradle of ancient civilizations and spiritual philosophies, Bihar is one of India’s most historically rich states. From the era of kings and empires to the birth of great religions, Bihar’s legacy is woven into India’s very identity. At the center of Bihar’s spiritual heritage lies Bodhgaya, where Lord Buddha attained enlightenment under the sacred Bodhi tree. Today, the Mahabodhi Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, draws pilgrims and travelers from across the globe. Nearby destinations like Rajgir, with its hot springs and Vishwa Shanti Stupa, and Nalanda, home to the ruins of one of the world’s oldest universities, deepen the journey through Bihar’s Buddhist past. Patna, the capital city, sits along the banks of the Ganges and offers a modern perspective of the state with attractions like Patna Museum, Gandhi Maidan, and the historic Golghar. Bihar is also deeply rooted in Jainism, Hinduism, and Sikhism, with important pilgrimage sites like Pawapuri and Vaishali. Beyond spiritual exploration, Bihar surprises with its vibrant festivals, folk music, and traditional handicrafts like Madhubani paintings. The warmth of its people and the depth of its stories create an unforgettable experience.
