About Bihar Sharif Bihar.

In the center of Bihar lies a historic city called Bihar Sharif. This city is home to Bihar’s oldest historical landmark, Nalanda Mahavihara, as well as several other world-heritage sites, small businesses, and historical graves. This town, which is about 70 kilometers from the state capital of Patna, is where large-scale mustard, sugarcane, potato, wheat, and rice agriculture is done. These crops rank second in the state in terms of crop output, and they provide a source of income for the locals. These crops are not only grown but are also sold to other states.

Along with the numerous minor domestic businesses in this city, there are over 20 other domestic industries, and workers from other cities travel to work in these industries as well. Among these are the manufacturing of pipes, elephant soap, milky queen ice cream, agarbatti, animal feed and mustard oil, battery acid, and agarbatti factories. This area is also known as “Mini Surat” since it is home to sizable textile markets. The two primary sources of income in this region are manufacturing and tourism. However, this Manibaba Akhara hosts the yearly “Chirga” and yearly “Langot Mela” as forms of amusement.

Because the remains of the world’s first residential university, Nalanda, and the Buddhist teaching institution, Odantapuri, are here, a lot of tourists come here every year. UNESCO has designated Nalanda as one of its World Heritage Sites. It was constructed in the fifth century BC by the Pala dynasty. Around the 11th and 12th centuries, it was pillaged and destroyed by the Muslim conqueror Ikhtiyar al-Din Muhammad Bakhtiyar Khalji. The Xuan Zang Memorial Hall and the many shrines and graves of Muslim monarchs are two other tourist attractions. The terms “vihar” and “sharif” combine to form the city’s name. According to the 2011 Census, the city has a population of two lakh nineteen thousand people. Maghi, Hindi, and Urdu are the primary languages used.
