The history of Bihar is one of the most varied in northern and eastern India. Bihar consists of three distinct regions, each has its own distinct history and culture. They are Magadh, Mithila and Bhojpur .[1] Chirand , on the northern bank of the Ganga River , in Saran district , has an archaeological record from the Neolithic age (about 2500–1345 BC). [2][3] Regions of Bihar—such as Magadha , Mithila and Anga —are mentioned in religious texts and epics of ancient India. Mithila is believed to be the centre of Indian power in the Later Vedic period (c. 1100-500 BCE). Mithila first gained prominence after being settled by Indo-Aryan peoples who established the Videha kingdom. [4] The Kings of the Videha Kingdom where called Janakas . A daughter of one of the Janaks of Mithila, Sita , is mentioned as consort of Lord Rama in the Hindu epic Ramayana , written by Valmiki .[5] The Videha Kingdom later became incorporated into the Vajji confederacy which had its capital in the city of Vaishali , which is also in Mithila.[6]
Magadha , another region of Bihar was the centre of Indian power, learning and culture for about a thousand years. One of India's greatest empires, the Maurya empire, as well as two major pacifist religions, Buddhism and Jainism, arose from the region that is now Bihar. [7] Magadha empires, most notably the Maurya and
Gupta empires, unified large parts of the Indian subcontinent under their rule. [8] Their capital
Pataliputra , adjacent to modern-day Patna , was an important political, military and economic centre of Indian civilisation during the ancient and classical periods of Indian history. Many ancient Indian texts , aside from religious epics, were written in ancient Bihar . The play
Abhijñānaśākuntala was the most prominent.
The present-day region of Bihar overlaps with several pre-Mauryan kingdoms and republics, including Magadha, Anga and the Vajji confederation of Mithila. The latter was one of the world's earliest known republics and had existed in the region since before the birth of
Mahavira (c. 599 BCE). [9][10] The classical Gupta dynasty of Bihar presided over a period of cultural flourishing and learning, known today as the Golden Age of India.
