Religion

Hinduism is the majority religion of the Bihari people although a large Muslim and a negligible Christian minority exists among the ethnic group.

Among the Hindus: Brahmin, Rajput, Bhumihar, Kurmi, Yadav, Banias, and Kayastha castes are well represented.

In India, Bihari Muslims are found in the Kishanganj, Katihar, Araria, Siwan, Purnia, Darbhanga, Muzaffarpur and Champaran districts of Bihar. The Bihari population living in Pakistan and Bangladesh is also predominantly Muslim as well.

Christian Biharis are significant in the Ranchi, Singhbhum, and Santhal districts of the Indian state of Jharkhand.
