What there is to see in Samastipur

Smaller stops — the kind the state tourism board lists and nobody writes about. Worth it if you are passing, rarely worth a dedicated trip.

  • Khatu Shyam Mandir

    New Rajasthani-style temple.

  • Vidyapati Dham

    Where the poet Vidyapati died; Ganga's water said to have followed him.
