Amhara is a town and a Gram Panchayat in Bihta block of Patna district in the state of Bihar, India.

Local language is Magahi, which has the lexical similarity of 71-83% with Hindi[5] (compared to 60% for German and English) and is spoken by about 7,800,000 people in Bihar.

A few decades ago, sugarcane used to be the primary crop, though rice, wheat and pulses too are grown widely.

In some parts, it rises into irregular uplands and elevated plains, interspersed with detached rocks.

But on account of shutting down of sugar mills, the farmers faced a big blow and had to switch to other crops to earn their daily bread.

Recently, due to the dropping water level in the area, a few villagers have resorted to other means of livelihood.
