“Bihar (mañana, en euskera), es una intervención escultórica que busca poner de manifiesto el impacto de las decisiones sociales actuales en el devenir de las vidas de los jóvenes, es obra del artista mejicano Rubén Orozco, un auténtico experto en la escultura viva, busca reflejar el devenir constante del tiempo que se representa con la subida y la bajada de las mareas de la Ría de Bilbao. Pero sobre todo, una escultura que pretende reflejar la expectación por las decisiones que se tomarán que determinarán si vivimos hundidos o sacamos la cabeza.
I first heard of the place Bihar Sharif when I was visiting Gaya and the towns nearby, circa 2005. There, I saw the name at a few milestones pointing how far I was from this place. Back then I never knew I'd end up coming here ten years later. So much for trains and journeys.
The early morning DMU service between Bakhtiyarpur Junction (on Delhi-Howrah mainline) and Rajgir unloads a large number of people, including us, at the town which happens to be the seventh largest in Bihar.

Shalan vihara (Sanskrit; Bengali: শালবন বিহার Shalban Bihar) in Mainamati, Comilla, Bangladesh is one of the best known Buddhist viharas in the Indian Subcontinent and is one of the most important archaeological sites in the country. At the end of the 8th century, King Shri Bhavadeva (Vobodev) made the "Salban Bihar" in this place. The digging started from 80th decades[clarification needed]. Many archaeological elements were found here.
In rural areas of Bihar, Male and Female literacy rate is 57.1 and 29.6 respectively. That is very low and some disadvantage caste have no access to basic education.
These children were up early in the morning everyday at 6am and started their daily begging. It was hard for me to grasp that such beautiful children could be so left out of the society.
Bodh Gaya is a religious site and place of pilgrimage associated with the Mahabodhi Temple Complex in Gaya district in the Indian state of Bihar. It is famous as it is the place where Gautama Buddha is said to have obtained Enlightenment (pali: bodhi) under what became known as the Bodhi Tree.

Mirfield
Approaching Mirfield is Jubilee 4-6-0 45581 Bihar and Orissa (55C) at the head of a parcels train which has come off the Huddersfield line. Always a favourite engine - I saw it here and at Farnley on many occasions.
In the background a freight is coming down the Calder Valley main line heading for Healey Mills behind Wakefield WD 2-8-0 90429.
I did not think I would be able to get anything from this very badly under-exposed slide - but Photoshop has helped to restore things albeit a bit fuzzy.

The Kesaria stupa on an overcast day, the lady in the red sari walking towards a temple completed this picture for me.
Kesariya is a small city in Bihar, India. It is famous for being the site of (possibly) the biggest stupa of India, built by King Ashoka. Kesariya used to be called Kesaputta during the time of the Buddha. It was a township of the Kosalans and the residence of the Kalamas. The Buddha once stayed there, on which occasion he preached the Kesaputtiya Suttas (a group of suttas preached to the Kalamas of Kesaputta - A.i.188), amongst which is the famous Kalama Sutta.
Kesaria is reported to have the tallest and the largest Buddhist Stupa in the world, following its discovery in 1998 through excavation by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). Rising to a height of 104 feet, and much reduced than its reported original height, it is still one foot taller than the famous Borobodur Stupa in Java. The Stupa is located near the town of Kasaria, 120 km from Patna, capital of Bihar. According to the National Informatics Centre of East Champaran (Motihari) publication, the Kesaria Stupa was 123 feet tall before the 1934 earthquake in Bihar. Originally the Kesaria Stupa was reported to have been 150 feet tall, 12 feet taller than the Borobodur stupa, which is 138 feet, according to the A.S.I. report. At present Kesaria Stupa is 104 feet and Borobodur Stupa is 103 feet.

Bodh Gaya is a religious site and place of pilgrimage associated with the Mahabodhi Temple Complex in the Indian state of Bihar. It is famous as it is the place where Gautama Buddha is said to have obtained Enlightenment.
The Nalanda Mahavihara site is in the State of Bihar, in north-eastern India. It comprises the archaeological remains of a monastic and scholastic institution dating from the 3rd century BCE to the 13th century CE. It includes stupas, shrines, viharas (residential and educational buildings) and important art works in stucco, stone and metal. Nalanda stands out as the most ancient university of the Indian Subcontinent. It engaged in the organized transmission of knowledge over an uninterrupted period of 800 years. Universities across Asia consider Nalanda the landmark of academic learning excellence..
The historical development of the site testifies to the development of Buddhism into a religion and the flourishing of monastic and educational traditions. While the original mahavihara was a much larger complex, all surviving remains of Nalanda present in the property area of 23 hectares comprising 11 viharas and 14 temples, besides many smaller shrine and votive structures. Temple-like form of chaityas and quadrangular-form of viharas replete with infrastructure authenticate Nalanda's contribution in developing sacred architecture of the Buddhists and residential-cum-scholastic facilities.
The Archaeological Site of Nalanda Mahavihara established and developed planning, architectural, artistic principles that were adopted later by many similar institutions in the Indian Subcontinent, South Asia and Southeast Asia. Nalanda continues to inspire modern university establishments in the region like Nava Nalanda Mahavihara, Nalanda University and several others across Asia.

How many of us have felt that education is a burden many a time?
Oh i want to stop studies..
I have had enough of it.
Many students here also feel the same.
Just that we need to motivate them to attend school atleast till graduation level.
In my visit to these schools, one of the things I kept stressing on was to not drop out of school. I hope that I was able to motivate atleast a few, if not more.
