Bihar is a state in India's east. With a land area of 94,163 km2, it is the third-largest state by population and the twelfth-largest by territory (36,357 sq mi). Bihar is bordered on the west by Uttar Pradesh, on the north by Nepal, on the east by the northern section of West Bengal, and on the south by Jharkhand. The Ganges River, which runs from west to east, divides the Bihar plain. Bihar is also the world's fourth-largest subnational entity by population.
