Ganga in Bihar : From Chausa to Manihari
Vidya Bhushan Rawat
(SAMAJ WEEKLY)- This is my continuous exploration of communities and history along with river Ganga and its tributaries. After Ghazipur district of Uttar Pradesh, Ganga enters into Bihar’s Buxar region from Chausa, a historically important nondescript town, about 10 kilometer from the district headquarter Buxar. The interesting fact is that river Karmnasha ends its journey here by merging in Ganga which then moves onwards towards Buxar, Chhapra, Bhojpur defining the border between UP and Bihar. We covered Gandaki in Sonpur, visited historic Gurudwara Patna Sahib and moved to Munger. The most enchanting and fascinating part of Ganga in Bihar is between Munger, Bhagalpur and Katihar. This film takes you to important places such as Sultanganj, Kahalgaon, Vikramshila, Kursela and Manihari. Interestingly, the big ship operates as a mode of transportation and goods from Manihari to Sahehbganj.
The aim is not only to raise consciousness about maintaining the sanctity of our rivers and environment but also about culture and history that grew by the side of them. Do spare your time and watch this fascinating journey with your family, friends and colleagues.
