Bihar Sharif is the fifth largest city in the state of Bihar and the district headquarters of Nalanda . Bihar Sharif (Vihar) is an education and trade hub in the area of south Bihar. Bihar Sharif is located on the banks of Panchanan River and Hiranya Parbat (mountain). The city name owes it to its Budhhist origin, Vihar(meaning Buddhist Monastery).
