"A modern vibrant economy, abundant natural resources, varied climate, mineral wealth and a rich, cultural, social, religious and historical heritage."
When we articulate Bihar we are remembered of ancient India when Buddhism was evolving into what now is a universal religion. The word "Bihar" is a mythical rename of "Vihara" meaning Buddhist Monasteries which at one point in history were scattered all over the landscape of Bihar, around villages and cities alike.
The birthplace of Buddha, Mahavira and Guru Gobind Singh, Bihar is the home of Emperor Ashoka who preached "Ahimsa", or non-violence, and spread the message of Buddhism throughout the world. A place where people embraced Buddhism, and the holiest sermon "Buddham Saranam Gachhami" reached beyond the boundaries of our country.
Bihar has also been the birth place of two great theologies- Buddhism and Jainism. So Come and explore the splendor of Bihar, the land of the dignified Ganges, the lush green plains, exquisite flora and fauna, attractive tourist destinations like the world famous ancient seats of learning like Nalanda and Vikaramshila, marvelous Madhubani paintings (Mithila Arts), vivacious Sujuni work, stunning Bhagalpuri silk, rich mineral resources, the world famous delicious litchi (lychee) and mangoes ....... and much much more ........ in fact something to suit every taste.
