About this place
Bhagalpur, known as the Silk City of Bihar, straddles the southern banks of the Ganges River. With roots reaching back to the ancient Anga kingdom and mentions in the Ramayana and Mahabharata, the city carries a deep historical legacy. It flourished under the Bengal Presidency as a significant trade hub and today stands as one of the more stable economic zones in the state.
Visitors will find a destination tied to riverine landscapes and mythological significance. Though the modern city is still developing its tourism infrastructure, it provides a genuine look at life in eastern India, complete with a storied past spanning Hindu kingdoms, Mughal rule, and British colonial influence.
