Katihar district, Administrative district in northeastern Bihar, India
The territory spans across fertile plains between the Mahananda, Ganges, Koshi, and Righa rivers, forming an agricultural region with substantial waterways.
In 1973, Katihar emerged as an independent district after its separation from Purnia, leading to the establishment of its own administrative headquarters.
The district population includes Hindu and Muslim communities speaking Surjapuri, Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, Santali, and Bhojpuri languages across various settlements.
Katihar Junction Railway Station functions as a Category A1 transportation center on the Barauni-Guwahati line, connecting multiple regions of northeastern India.
The district maintains its position as Bihar's largest maize producer while preserving its former status as the state's jute capital with two major mills.
