How To Reach Sultan Phokher
Araria, Bihar, India
Sultan Phokher is a large, historic water tank located in the town of Forbesganj within the Araria district. This place is unique because it holds significant religious and cultural value for both the Hindu and Muslim communities of the region. Traditionally, it has been used for various religious rituals, including the Chhath Puja and various Islamic ceremonies. The "Phokher" (pond) is surrounded by ancient trees and small shrines, creating a peaceful oasis in the middle of the bustling town. Historians believe that the pond was constructed during the medieval period to serve as a water reservoir for the local population and travelers. Over time, it evolved into a symbol of communal harmony and a central meeting point for the residents. The water remains relatively clean throughout the year, and the stone-paved banks provide a space for people to sit and reflect. During festivals, the entire area around the pond is transformed into a vibrant fairground, reflecting the diverse culture of North Bihar. For a traveler, Sultan Phokher offers a quiet spot to observe local life, from children playing near the water to elderly men discussing politics under the shade of Banyan trees. It is a true "Hidden Gem" that encapsulates the soul of Forbesganj.
