Barh


Barh, is a town and subdivision in Patna district of Bihar, India. It is located along the Ganges River, south-east of Patna, the state capital.
==Etymology==
Barh was one of the largest lentil- and pulse-producing regions of Bihar during the British Raj. Situated on the southern bank of the river Ganges, some 34 miles east of Patna, the town was a stopover for ships sailing to and from Calcutta, ferrying grains and lentils. The town's name may have derived from the Persian word ''bargah'', which translates as 'twelfth' in English, as Barh's position in the order of such stopovers was twelfth.
The town is low-lying and was frequently flooded by the Ganges before the Bandh Road was constructed. The Hindi word for a flood is ''barh'', and it has been alternatively suggested as the etymological origin of the name. Other sources suggest that the first sitting of the Bar in India was held here in 1884. Before this event the name of the town was Umanath Nagar, after the local Umanath Temple. After the event, the town began to be called Bar, as shown in various maps of India from 1834 to 1896, and Barh thereafter.
