Abstract

From the geographical perspective, the location of Magadha region is quite important due to the mixed geographical structure. In its north is the Ganges river, Jharkhand in the south, Kiul in the east and Son river in the west i.e. the whole Magahi speaking area. The vast area of ??the districts of Aurangabad, Gaya Nawada, Jehanabad, Patna and Nalanda between the Ganges River in the north and the Chotanagpur highlands covered by a contour line of 500 feet in the south is called the Magadha region. The ancient district of Gaya, Rajgir, and Pataliputra bear witness to its ancient sprawl, which is spread over 17913 square meters. According to the 2001 census, the population here is 1.236 crores. Depending on the texture, it can be divided into three parts.
