Bihar Day, or “Bihar Diwas”, is a public holiday in the northeastern Indian state of Bihar. It is observed on the 22 March, the day in 1912 when Bihar became its own province of British India, being separated from the province of Bengal. The states of Orissa and Jharkhand were also created out of Bengal on this same date.
Bihar Day is a time to celebrate and recall Bihar's vast, rich cultural heritage. The Mauryan Empire and Buddhism were both created in the third-most populous state in India, Bihar. It is also distinctive in that its population is over 90 percent rural, which obviously affects its culture.
On 22 March, the Bihar state government publishes a formal declaration of the day. There are several special events, and all governmental organisations and educational institutions mark the holiday.
Celebrations may go on for several days straight in some regions. You can come across street vendors offering a wide range of regional cuisine, live musical and cultural acts, and other interesting activities.
