About Sonauli

A village rooted in the Gangetic plains

History, geography, people, and the achievements that define our community.

Sonauli sits in the fertile Gangetic plains of Saran district, under Masharak police station, in the historic Chapra region of Bihar. For generations its families have farmed paddy, wheat, and maize on land enriched by the river system, while its lanes hold temples, a mosque, schools, and gathering spaces that anchor village life.

Today the village balances heritage with progress — paved roads under PMGSY, piped water through Jal Jeevan Mission, solar lighting, and a growing generation of students moving into higher education and professions across India and abroad.
