The entire area forms one of the most charming series of views imaginable. The far-off hills in the background in exquisite tints of blue or purple as the light falls, the nearer hills picturesquely shaped and luxuriant in every shade of green with their bold escarpments in black or grey, and the brown plains below furnishing their quota of colours.”<ref>’’Bihar” by Ram Chandra Prasad, Page 5, National Book Trust, First edition 1983,ISBN: 81-237-0151-9</ref>
