Nawada Bihar Election 2025: Check Polling Date, Result Date, List of Candidates & More About Bihar Vidhan Sabha Chunav

Nestled in southern Bihar near the Jharkhand border, Nawada spans both sides of the Khuri River. Its name, Nau-abad—Persian for “new town”—seems fitting for a place that never quite held onto its past.

Beyond faint links to the Magadh Empire and Nalanda’s ruins, Nawada’s story is largely forgotten. Before British rule, it was a patchwork of small kingdoms in constant conflict. The 1857 revolt brought looting and fires, but officials managed to safeguard government records in a hill cave, leaving behind the only pre-1857 evidence of the town. Even so, its earlier name and history remain unknown. With no monuments or reminders of glory, Nawada is now defined by disorder, corruption, and underdevelopment—a town time seems to have left behind.
