It is an historic commercial center at the crossroads connecting Patna to Sasaram and Buxar to Dehri and Dumraon known as Bikramganj Chowk. Bikramganj, in the less-industrialised north of Rohtas district, is surrounded by well-irrigated, fertile fields which have given the district its reputation as the rice bowl of Bihar. A railway station on Dehri Road connects to the nearby cities of Patna, Sasaram. A number of banks have opened in the city. A small river flows through Bikramganj,known as Kaai and drains into the Ganges in Buxar. Hinduism is the majority religion, and Chhath is a major festival. A local delicacy is litti with chicken, and chhena ka khurma is a sweet. Nearby towns are Suryapura, Kārākāt, Koath, and Sanjhauli. The climate is humid and sub-tropical, good for rice cultivation, and Katarni rice is a well-known variety grown in the region.
