Patwatoli, a muhalla in Manpur, has produced many IITians almost 20 each year Indian Institutes of Technology and about every house has an engineer.

The Surya Temple was established around 400 years ago by Raja Man Singh, an army chief of the Mughal Emperor Akbar as well as king of Amer.

Raja Man Singh, during his campaign to quell Bengal riots, established Manpur; that's why it is named as Man-pur.

Patwatoli, near the Shiv Mandir, Sri Ram Nagar, Durga Asthan and Shivcharan Lane, has the highest number of power looms installed.

People from all over Manpur as well as Gaya town come out of their houses in Diwali to see the very well decorated statues.
