Nitish Kumar took oath as Bihar's chief minister for a record tenth time on November 20, 2025, at 11:30 am in Patna's Gandhi Maidan following the NDA's landslide victory. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several senior leaders attended the ceremony. The alliance secured 202 out of 243 seats, with BJP winning 89 and JD(U) 85.
A 33-foot-long, 210-tonne Shiva Lingam, touted as the world's tallest, has reached Bihar after a 3,000-km journey from Tamil Nadu. It will be installed at the under-construction Virat Ramayana Temple in Kaithwalia, East Champaran, on January 17, with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and other leaders attending. Carved from a single black granite rock, it marks a key milestone in the ambitious project.
