Maharajadhiraj Sir Rameshwar Singh Jha wanted to shift the headquarters of Raj Darbhanga from Darbhanga to Rajnagar and spent money in building palaces and temples and excavating or renovating tanks.[1] The palaces were ruined almost beyond repair and the temples were also very badly damaged.[1] The earthquake rendered the main palace through the Durga hall and the roof over the inner shrines into a mass of ruins and the marble image of the deity broke into pieces.[1]
The Shiva temple built on the South Indian model was beyond repair.[2]
The village has had electricity since 1959. A railway station of the North-Eastern Railway serves the village.[2] The village is also the centre of trade in Euryale ferox (water berries).[2]
