A Note from the Founder
“I’m Deepak Thakur, a Bihari living in Bangalore. I built Bihar Dekho because I realized that while many people are curious about my home state, very few have the reliable information they need to visit. My goal is simple: to help you see Bihar not through headlines, but through its history, its people, and its warmth.”
