The kings of the Videha Kingdom were called Janakas.[3] The Videha Kingdom was later incorporated into the Vajji confederacy, which had its capital in the city of Vaishali, which is also in Mithila.[4] During the Mughal rule, Purnia was an outlying military province, and its revenue was mostly spent on protecting its borders against tribes from the north and east.[5] After the capture of Calcutta in 1757, Purnia's local governor raised a rebellion against Siraj ud-Daulah. In 1765, the district became a British possession, along with the rest of Bengal.[6] On February 14, 1770 The district of Purnia in modern history was formed by the East India Company.[7] Purnia is known for its uniquely designed organization, Ramakrishna Mission, where the festival called Durga Puja is celebrated in October. Another attraction in the city of Purnia is the oldest temple of Mata Puran Devi which is 5 km away from the main city. It is theorized that Purnia received its name from this temple. Other theories also describe how Purnia received its name; which is, that in the past Purnia was named Purna– Aranya, which stands for "complete jungle." Three districts were partitioned off from Purnia disctrict: Katihar in 1976,[8] Araria and Kishanganj in 1990.[8] GeographyEdit Purnia district occupies 3,229 square kilometres (1,247 sq mi),[9] comparable to the Solomon Islands' Makira Island.[10] It is a depressed tract, consisting for the most part of a rich, loamy alluvial soil. It is traversed by several rivers flowing from the Himalayas, which afford great advantages of irrigation and water-carriage. Its major rivers are the Kosi, the Mahananda, the Suwara Kali and the Koli. In the west, the soil is thickly covered with sand deposited by changes in the course of the Kosi. Among other rivers are the Mahananda and the Panar. Its major agricultural products are jute and banana. EconomyEdit Agricultural products in Purnia include paddy, maize, pulses, wheat and oilseeds. Roughly one-third of the area sown is under rice (paddy); cash crops such as vegetables and water-melons are present. A commercial complex called D. N. Roy Market (Aabha Complex) is setting up at Line Bazar. DivisionsEdit Purnia district has four subdivisions: PurneaSadar, Banmankhi, Baisi and Dhamdaha.
