The Muslim Sapera are found in the districts of [[Saharsa]], [[Champaran]], [[Sitamarhi]] and [[Purnea]]. They are divided into two groups, the Iraqi and Irani. Both these groups are strictly [[endogamous]], and there is no intermarriage between them. Traditionally a community of snake charmers, most Sapera are now wage labourers, and are one of the most disadvantaged groups among the [[Bihari Muslim]]s. Although they are [[Muslim]]s, most Sapera worship a tribal deity known as Bisahari.<ref name="Gopal"/>
