‘People warned me before coming’

At the start of the clip, Tony revealed that several people had advised him against travelling to Bihar. However, his opinion appeared to change quickly after arriving in Darbhanga.

Standing before the city’s grand palace-style gateways and heritage buildings, the vlogger appeared visibly impressed by the architecture and atmosphere. He recorded sprawling courtyards, colourful pillars and old royal structures linked to the region’s Maharaja-era history.

His visit also included a stop at the Chandradhari Museum, where he admired paintings, historical objects and artworks connected to Mithila culture. While locals smiled at his pronunciation of the museum’s name, viewers appreciated the curiosity and excitement he brought to the experience.

Exploring Darbhanga beyond monuments

The video did not focus only on heritage landmarks. Tony also captured everyday life in Darbhanga, from riding in a shared auto to trying local street beverages and walking through pottery markets lined with earthenware and handmade crafts.

One moment that drew attention online was his reaction to the city’s pottery scene, where he praised the craftsmanship of local artisans while filming rows of colourful clay items stacked across market stalls.

Darbhanga, located in the Mithila region of Bihar, is known for its cultural heritage, educational institutions and classical music traditions, including the renowned Darbhanga Gharana of Dhrupad. Temples, old palaces and traditional markets continue to attract visitors interested in the region’s history and art.
