History

Bidupur is a place of historical importance. One of Gautam Buddha's disciple Anand has got parinirvana here. There is a bhinda in Madhurapur where many things of ancient history have been found. Many early paintings, scriptures, and stones are there.[8] Every year after Durga Puja a mela and kirtan are organised to remember Anand. The kashthariya sahashralingam mandir in Bidupur is also a place of historical importance.[9] There have been plans to expand Patna to Greater Patna, which would entail absorbing Bidupur.[10]
