Vishnudham Mandir (Samas):- Samas village is located 5 kms from Barbigha town and 25 km from Biharsharif . The largest idol of Lord Vishnu in North India belongs to the Gupta period and was recovered during the excavation of an old village tank in 1992.The idol is made of black granite and measures 7.5 feet in length and 3.5 feet in width. Its four arms carry a “shankh (conch)”, a “chakra (discus)”, a “gada (club)” and a “padma (lotus)”. There are two figures — one masculine and another feminine — below the left and right arms of the idol. The idol has been installed in a temple on a sprawling 15-bigha campus of the tank. This village appears to be a great centre of iconography because a large number of idols have been recovered from here and its neighbouring regions in the recent years.
