| Munger district has a unique historical background. The areas falling under this district
are considered a part of the first Aryan settlers' midland. It has been identified with
Modagiri, a place mentioned in the epic Mahabharat. It was the capital of a kingdom
in eastern India near Bhanga and Tamralipta. There is also a mention of Modagiri in the
'Digvijay Parva' of the Mahabharata, which seems to be the same as Modagiri. |
| The first authentic historical account of the district finds a mention in the memoirs of
Xuanzang who visited a part of this district towards the close of the first half of the seventh century AD. |
| A copper plate known as the 'Munger Plate' was discovered in Munger way back in 1780.

Kastharni Ghat. |
