Buxar district, Administrative district in Bihar, India.
Buxar district is an administrative area in Bihar that spreads across fertile plains dedicated largely to agriculture. The region produces rice, wheat, and pulses on numerous fields that dominate the landscape.
The Battle of Buxar in 1764 was a pivotal moment when the British East India Company defeated combined forces of the Mughal Empire. This clash altered the political course of the region significantly.
