Dighwara is a small town in the Saran district of Bihar, India, known for its historical and mythological significance. The name 'Dighwara' is believed to derive from 'Dirgh-dwar', meaning 'large gate', as it is said to be the entrance to the mythological city of King Daksha. The town is beautifully situated on the banks of the Ganges River, providing a peaceful and scenic environment. During British rule, it was a feudal estate governed by the Raghuvanshis. Plans for a road bridge over the Ganges between Dighwara and Danapur are underway, promising better connectivity.
