About About the place

The Bihar Institute of Handicrafts and Designs (BIHD) is a significant cultural institution dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Bihar's rich artistic heritage. Established in 1939, the institute serves as both an educational center, offering degree courses in handicrafts and design, and a showcase for traditional Bihari artistry. The collection features a diverse range of handcrafted items, reflecting the state's unique cultural identity. While possessing considerable cultural importance, the institute currently lacks sufficient support from tourism authorities and promotion, resulting in limited visitor numbers. Improvements to presentation and increased publicity are needed to fully realize its potential as a learning and cultural destination.

The place is so beautiful that I could not take my eyes off it. The place is a heritage building which has stunning architecture and the Victorian style walls are simply amazing. We visited the place on a weekday and it had a lot of people. But things were arranged in a proper way and we could have the tour nicely.. This is one of the most iconic and important places in the city. The history and the beauty associated with it is incredible. We decided to take a guide in order to understand the facts better. We really enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend it to everyone.
