Muzaffarpur, lichi kingdom, my city, town, qasba, village. Anything you can call it. Its full of lichi and mango orchards. The present town came into existence in 1860s. Earlier it was part of Tirhut district. For the sake of administrative convenience Muzaffarpur was established. It was named after Muzaffar Khan, a revenue officer under British dynasty. Muzaffarpur has ancient temples like Baba Garibnath Mandir, Gurudwara at Ramna, Data Kambal Sah Mazar near Purani Bazar, Bada Imambara near Banaras Bank Chowk.
The downtown areas of Muzaffarpur are Tilak Maidan Road, Kalyani, Saraiyagunj and Motijheel. These areas are densely populated areas with small shops, selling plethora of goods and servies in colourful settings.

Food and drink habit of Muzaffarpur people are not specific and authentic. Biten rice(chiwra) is served with creamy curd and sugar. Kheer, Poori, Litti are another Bihari brands.  Litti is a kind of paratha made with sattu, onion, chilli, garlic etc. Here toddy,  known as "Tari" is very popular among the people of lower strata of society.  Its "poor men's beer".
