Bhagalpur is an ancient city and the history of Bhagalpur goes back to the days of Vedic period. References to Bhagalpur can be found in Indian epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata where Bhagalpur was described as the Kingdom of Anga. It was established by king ‘Anga’ after whose name it came to be known in the early period. Mandar Hill (situated 52 kms. south from Bhagalpur) is believed to have been used as Churner during Samudra Manthan by God and Danav according to Hindu mythology. Various accounts and anecdotes as to the origin of its name are given. According to a number of historians, the name “Bhagalpur” is associated with the famous king “Bhagdutta” of the Mahabharat period. During that period, the place was known as “Bhagduttapur”. With the lapse of time this “Bhagduttapur” got converted into Bhagalpur. The ancient history has evidences to show that the attack by the “Bhonslas” was a common feature of this area and the common mass had to find out a safer place to save their lives, and, probably, the present area of Bhagalpur was certainly a very good place for their refuge.
