Bihar Diwas:
Bihar Diwas, observed every year on March 22, marks the creation of the state in 1912 when it was separated from the Bengal Presidency under British rule. The celebration is meant to honour Bihar’s cultural roots, and in this case, it turned into a vibrant cross-cultural moment, with Zambian performers embracing Bhojpuri music with full flair.
