Sasaram - Its famous for production of stone chip OR birth place of Sher Shah Suri

One of the famous tourist places of Bihar Sasaram or Sahsaram owes its wide fame to its historical significance. It is basically a small town located in the Rohtas District of Bihar and situated nearly 110 km away from Varanasi, 105 km away from Bodh Gaya and 148 km away from the capital city of Patna.

Based on the names of the celebrated King Kartavirya Sahasrarjuna and sage Parashurama (Sahasrarjuna-pura or Sahsaram), Sasaram is well-known for the Samrat Ashoka Pillar – located in the cave of Kaimur Hill. It is also famous for the Rohtaas Fort. Built and named by the well-known ruler Raja Harish Chandra, the control of the Rohtaas Fort was later seized by Sher Shah Suri – the famed Afghan ruler.

Sher Shah Suri made Sarsaram a key trade centre, besides a successful administrative unit under the Sharqi kingdom of Jaunpur. He also built several monuments at Sasaram which still point to the glorious history and background of the era gone by. Sasaram is also the birthplace of the Jhansi ki Rani of Bihar i.e., Haji Begum, who gave the British a tough time.
