Jehanabad district

Jehanabad district is an administrative region in Magadh that covers about 932 square kilometers situated between the Dardha and Yamunaiya rivers. The area is primarily agricultural in nature and governed from the district headquarters in Jehanabad town.

The district was established in 1986 after splitting away from Gaya district. This separation created an independent administrative unit with its own governance structure.

Local residents speak Magahi and Hindi as their main languages and maintain traditional customs through regular community gatherings. These practices shape daily life and social connections across the region.

The administrative center in Jehanabad town serves as the main hub for official matters and services across the region. Visitors can find key government offices there and obtain basic information about the area.

The two rivers Dardha and Yamunaiya meet in the district and fundamentally influence agricultural conditions. These water sources are vital for local irrigation and crop farming practices.
