Raghunathpur, though situated just 80 km west of Patna, wears a pre-industrial revolution era look and feel. A dirt track connects it with Berhampur, the nearest village 4 km to the north and the only means of short distance transport is on a Tonga other than walking.

Except for the vast expanse of verdant paddy fields on either side of the road, development is still to peep into this small settlement – the hiatus in time is quite evident from its sad state of social development and the deprivation of basic facilities. A journey around here is not a function of distance alone but also a travel back to some point in the past.

Nearest airport is at Patna. Raghunathpur Railway Station is on the Buxar – Arrah rail route of East Central Railways.
