Darbhanga district

Darbhanga is an administrative district in eastern Bihar with several temples, schools, and busy markets spread across multiple towns. The landscape is mostly flat and features rivers that run through the area, shaping its geography.

The area was the center of the ancient Mithila kingdom, which played an important role in early Indian history. Over centuries, the region experienced changes under various rulers before becoming part of modern India.

The region holds deep roots in Mithila art traditions that you can see in homes and during local celebrations. This artistic heritage shapes daily life and continues to be passed down through families.

The area is well connected by train stations in several towns, with local buses and auto-rickshaws providing transportation to smaller places. Visitors should allow time for traveling between different locations, as distances can be considerable.

The area is home to Kusheshwar Bird Sanctuary, where rare waterfowl gather in large numbers during the monsoon season. This location often surprises birdwatchers since it receives less attention than other wildlife areas in the country.
