History of Bihar: The name Bihar is probably derived from the word Vihara of Buddhist Viharas, which is addressed in its distorted form Bihar instead of Vihara. Many rivers flow here in which Ganga is the main one. Other rivers are Son, Pupun, Falgu, Karmanasha, Durgavati, Kosi, Gandak, Ghaghra etc. Bihar is situated in the plains of the Ganges and its tributaries. After the separation of Jharkhand, the land of Bihar is mainly river plains and flat land. Bihar is on the eastern plain of the Ganges.

The Ganges river flows through almost the middle of the state. North Bihar is a flat plain of the Bagmati, Kosi, Gandak, Son and their tributaries.  To the north of Bihar lies the Himalayan mountain range and to the south lies the Chota Nagpur Plateau, part of which is now Jharkhand. From the north many rivers flow through Bihar and join the Ganges. In these rivers, floods are a major problem during the rainy season.

Odantapuri 'old name Udantpuri' located in Bihar was destroyed by Muslim invaders in the beginning of the thirteenth century. This region, which was a stronghold of vast empires of ancient times, is currently counted as one of the most backward contributors to the country's economy.
