Jehanabad district is one of the thirty-eight districts of Bihar state, India. Jehanabad town is the administrative headquarters of this district. Jehanabad district is a part of Magadh Division, and is located on the confluence of two small rivers called Dardha and Yamunaiya.

History[edit | edit source]

The territory of the present-day district became Jehanabad sub-division of Gaya district in 1872. The district came into existence on 1 August 1986. It is surrounded by Patna in north, Arwal in west, Nalanda in east and Gaya in south.

Geography & Climate[edit | edit source]

Jehanabad lies in the southern Gangetic Plain. Elevation is low and flat; the district headquarters at Jehanabad town sits near the confluence of the Dardha and Jamuna rivers.[1] The climate is humid subtropical (monsoon-influenced): summers are very hot (up to ~44 °C) and winters cool (down to ~5 °C).[2] The southwest monsoon (June–September) brings most rain (roughly 1,100–1,300 mm annually). [3] [4] Spring and autumn are brief transitional seasons. The soil is broadly fertile alluvial loam. These conditions favor intensive cultivation; however, irrigation depends on monsoon rains and local tube wells (groundwater), since most rivers (Dardha, Phalgu, etc.) are seasonal. [5]

Vegetation is that of the Indo-Gangetic plains (agricultural fields, patches of scrub or sal on higher ground). The landscape is largely cleared for farming; forest cover in the district is negligible.
