Bihar, formerly known as Magadha, was once the center power of India's
struggle for Independence. The Name Bihar is derived from the Sanskrit
word, 'Vihara' which means monasteries. It was also an important center
of Education, culture and tradition. The very ancient university Nalanda
is situated in Bihar and its ruins can still be seen there. It is a
rich and fertile land with a mild climate and is crossed by many major
rivers, including the Ganges. Bihar is bounded on the north by Nepal,
on the south by Jharkhand, on the east by West Bengal and on the west
by Uttar Pradesh.
