Things To Do
in Majurwa

A Bihar specialty: roasted wheat dough balls stuffed with spiced sattu (gram flour) served with mashed roasted eggplant/tomato/potato (chokha); available at dhabas and local eateries.

Must-Try!

Flatbread or a refreshing drink made from roasted gram flour—nutritious, filling and commonly sold at morning stalls and markets.

When available, locally caught rohu or catla are prepared in a simple mustard or tomato-based curry at home kitchens and small restaurants.

Deep-fried sweets and condensed-milk desserts sold at sweet shops and during festivals.

A lively market where vendors sell vegetables, pulses, spices, street snacks, and freshly made sweets—try samosas, kachoris and local chaats from the busiest stalls.

Early-morning stalls offer the freshest produce and fish; a good place to sample simple breakfast items and fresh tea with locals.

Tipping is modest and discretionary: round up bills at small eateries, tip Rs. 20–100 ($0.25–$1.25) for local guides or drivers for short services, and 5–10% at higher-end restaurants if service is good.

Cash (Indian rupees) is king in small towns; mobile UPI payments are widespread if both parties have smartphones. ATMs are available in larger nearby towns—carry cash for markets and rickshaws. Credit/debit cards are accepted only at bigger establishments.

April–June brings hot, humid weather with daytime temperatures often high; plan outdoor activities for morning and late afternoon, stay hydrated and wear light clothing and sun protection.

June–September sees heavy rains and occasional local flooding; some rural roads may be muddy or impassable—carry waterproof gear and check local conditions before travel.

October–November is pleasant and culturally rich—many festivals mean lively markets, decorations and local performances; book accommodations early during major festivals.

December–February offers cool, dry mornings and chilly nights—ideal for sightseeing and outdoor photography; carry a light jacket for early mornings and evenings.

The major regional airport serving Bihar with domestic connections; reach Majurwa from Patna by road or train in approximately 2–4 hours depending on location and traffic—taxis and trains connect Patna to many nearby towns.

Smaller airport used for some domestic and seasonal flights, often used by pilgrims visiting Bodh Gaya; accessible by road from surrounding districts and helpful if Majurwa is in southern parts of the state.

Majority of residents are engaged in agriculture and related activities, with seasonal labor patterns and family-run farms.

Local craftsmen, small-scale traders and market vendors who supply goods and services to the region.

A growing young population attends nearby schools and colleges, increasingly mobile for work and education in larger towns and cities.

Predominantly Hindu with Muslim and other minority communities present, each contributing to local festivals and cultural life.

Vegetarian food is plentiful and often the default in many homes and eateries; you’ll find many lentil, paneer and vegetable options and meat-free street food.

Possible but requires asking about ghee and dairy in preparations; sattu-based dishes and many dals/vegetables can be vegan if cooked without ghee or ghee-based tempering.

Rice-based meals, lentils and many curries are naturally gluten-free, but breads (rotis/parathas) contain wheat—ask vendors before eating fried snacks that may use wheat flour.

Carry translations for your allergies; street food vendors may not have cross-contamination awareness—prefer simple home-cooked meals in family-run places.
