Jagdishpur is a nagar panchayat town of the district Bhojpur of the state of Bihar in eastern India.

[6] Later, the Ujjainiya ruler Pratap Mal, who ascended the throne in 1621 and was a contemporary of Shah Jahan, moved away from Jagdishpur.

[6] Sujan Sahi's son and successor, Udwant Singh, expanded the borders of the estate by conquering neighbouring towns and villages.

The governor of Bihar, Fakhr ud-Dawla, attempted to intervene, but Udwant Singh defeated the troops he sent.

In particular, the Shivratri festival was associated with a large melā that Kunwar Singh made mandatory for local merchants to attend.

The sub-district of Jagdishpur contained 79 villages in 2011, all of which had access to clean drinking water, 69 of which had schools, 30 of which had medical facilities, 24 of which had post offices, 56 of which had transport communications (bus, rail, or navigable waterways), 6 of which had banks, 18 of which had agricultural credit societies, 55 of which had pucca roads, and 35 of which had electricity.
