Mindful meoweler tips

Home to oldest and largest maker of Tussar Silk

Bhagalpur is famous for Tussar Silk, known for its texture, natural golden color and durability. Birbal Sahni, the renowned botanist, identified the Tussar silkworm as belonging to the region in 1924.

Visit Vikramshila Gangetic Dolphin Sanctuary

Home to the endangered Ganges river dolphin, this sanctuary was established in 1991. Visitors can catch a glimpse of these majestic creatures from boats or on a riverside walk.

Taste the unique Magahi paan

Paan is a digestive mix of herbs and spices, wrapped in a betel leaf. Magahi paan, originally from Bhagalpur, is distinct due to its use of anise, cardamom, and mitha (sweet) supari.
