Answer:
1. General Characteristics of the District
Gaya formed a part of the district of Behar and Ramgarh till 1864. It was
given the status of independent district in 1865. Subsequently, in May 1981,
Magadh Division was created by the Bihar State Government with the districts of
Gaya, Nawada, Aurangabad and Jehanabad. All these districts were at the level
of sub-division when the Gaya district was created in 1865. About the origin of
the name ‘Gaya' as referred to in Vayu Purana is that Gaya was the name of a
demon (Asura) whose body was pious after he performed rigid penance and
secured blessings from Vishnu. It was said that the Gayasura's body would
continue to be known as Gaya Kshetra.
It would be incumbent upon all sons to offer PINDA (oblations) for the
salvation of the soul of their ancestors. All the 360 vedis for pindadana were
located within this Pancha Kosi Gaya Kshetra. The soul could be freed from the
agonies of Hell and sent to Heaven by performing Gaya-Shraddha within this
area. Gaya has been named after the demon.
