Bihar: Where History Breathes and Culture Thrives

Bihar is not just a state in India—it's a living museum of heritage. With a history dating back to the Vedic era, Bihar has been the cradle of civilizations, religions, and intellectual revolutions.

It was here that Lord Buddha attained enlightenment, Emperor Ashoka ruled, and great universities like Nalanda and Vikramshila flourished, drawing scholars from across Asia. The state's name itself comes from the Sanskrit word "Vihara," meaning monastery—a testament to its spiritual and scholarly roots.

But Bihar is not just about ancient history. It's a land where traditions continue to breathe. From the vibrant Chhath Puja rituals to the soulful Bihari folk songs and dances like Jat-Jatin and Bidesia, the cultural pulse remains strong.

Crafts like Madhubani painting, Sikki grass weaving, and Bhagalpuri silk weaving are more than just art—they are legacies passed through generations.

At Crafts of Bihar, we celebrate this enduring spirit through every handmade product and every story we share.
