Bihariganj

Bihariganj lies in the Kosi plain of northeastern Bihar, amid the villages and cultivated land of Mithila. The river has shifted its course repeatedly across this low country, leaving old channels and altering the land around settlements. Local accounts remember Bihariganj by the earlier name Nishankhpur Kodha and describe a channel called Ha-ha Dhar near the settlement. The neighbouring Gamail Gola market served the exchange of produce from the surrounding villages.
