Tirhut division

Tirhut is an administrative division in northern Bihar consisting of six districts. Muzaffarpur serves as its headquarters, coordinating governance and regional services across the area.

The division was established in 1908 during British colonial administration as a structured framework for governing northern Bihar territories. This administrative framework has continued to shape regional governance since then.

The division represents multiple regional traditions through its six districts, where agricultural practices and local customs shape the identity of rural communities.

Administrative services for the region are concentrated in Muzaffarpur, where main government offices are located. Visitors should note that the division spans multiple districts, so planning visits to specific districts within the area is recommended.

The division contains 1,788 Gram Panchayats and spans 17,141 square kilometers, making it a substantial administrative unit in the state of Bihar.
