The Bihar state, bordered by the natural border with Nepal, is bathed by the waters of the Ganges which flows across it.

Where books describe a dangerous place, or arms and banditry are raging, we picked the best smiles in the villages of Bodhgaya, where Buddha attained enlightenment under the tree of Boddhy.
