Bihar's
antiquity is evident from its name, which is derived from the ancient
word "VIHARA" (monastery). It is indeed a land of monasteries. Hindu,
Buddhist, Jain, Muslim and Sikh shrines abound in this ancient land
where India's first major empires rose and fell. Where the ruins of the
worlds' earliest university slumbers in the void of time. The passage of
Ganga, flowing wide and deep enrich the plains of Bihar before
distributing in Bengal's deltoid zone.
Among all Indian states, Bihar is the one most intimately linked to the
Buddha’s life, resulting in a trail of pilgrimages which have come to
be known as the Buddhist circuit. The Buddhist trail begins at the
capital city, Patna, where a noteworthy museum contains a collection of
Hindu and Buddhist sculptures as well as a terracotta urn said to
contain the ashes of Lord Buddha. Visit http://bstdc.bih.nic.in/Profile.htm
