Answer 1

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. Chirand, on the northern bank of the Ganga River, in Saran district, has an archaeological record from the Neolithic age (about 2500–1345 BC). 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 center 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 Videhakingdom. The Kings of the Videha Kingdom where called Janakas. A daughter of one of the Janaks of Mithila, Sita, is mentioned as a consort of Lord Rama in the Hindu epic Ramayana, written by Valmiki. The Videha Kingdom later became incorporated into the Vajjiconfederacy which had its capital in the city of Vaishali, which is also in Mithila.
