Bihar is an East Indian state that borders Nepal. The River Ganges divides it, flooding its fertile plains. The Bodhi Tree in Bodhgaya’s Mahabodhi Temple, where the Buddha allegedly meditated, is an important Buddhist pilgrimage site. Hindus revere the Mahavir Mandir temple in Patna, while Sikhs visit the domed, riverside Gurdwara of Takht Sri Harmandir Sahib Ji.
