Bihar Lok Sabha Election: Aurangabad, lying on the historic Grand Trunk road in South Bihar, is the epicenter of Magadh culture. Named after the renowned Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, this city is nestled 140 kilometers from Patna, Bihar’s capital and one of its significant landmarks is the Dev Surya Mandir, famously known as the Sun Temple. With a notable presence of the Rajput community, Aurangabad often earns comparisons with Bihar’s Chittorgarh.
