Bihar is an Indian state considered to be apart of eastern,
northern, and north-central India. It is the thirteenth-largest Indian state, with an area of 94,163 km (36,357 sq. mi. The third-largest state by population, it is contiguous with Uttar Pradesh to its west,
Nepal to the north, the northern part of West Bengal to the east, with Jharkhand to the south. The Bihar plain is split by the river Ganges, which flows from west to east. Three main regions converge in the state Magadh, Mithila, and Bhojpur. It is
an entirely landlocked state, in a subtropical region of the temperate zone. Bihar lies between the humid West Bengal in the east and the sub humid Uttar Pradesh in the west, which provides it with a transitional position in respect of climate, economy and culture. It is bounded by Nepal in the north and by Jharkhand in the south. Bihar plain is divided into two unequal halves (North Bihar and South Bihar) by the river Ganges which flows through the middle from west to east. Bihar's land has average elevation above sea level of 173 feet. On 15 November 2000, southern Bihar was a territory to form the new state of Jharkhand. Only 11.3% of the population of Bihar lives in urban areas, which is the lowest in India after Himachal Pradesh.
