About Off Beat Bihar
A digital magazine and discovery platform for Bihar's places, culture, food, people and ideas.
Off Beat Bihar tells the stories of Bihar: its heritage and its everyday life, its festivals and food, its villages and cities, and the people building its future. We share them on Instagram at @offbeatbihar_ and here, where they can be explored in depth.

How we work
We check facts against reliable sources and list those sources at the end of our articles. We use photographs only when we have the right to, credit them, and never present a picture of one place as another. Our full approach is set out in our editorial policy.
