Chaturbhuj Sthan is a red-light district in Muzaffarpur, a district in the state of Bihar, India.[1] The area is said to have existed since the Mughal period and is home to more than 3,500 sex workers.[2] It gained its name from the Chaturbhuj Sthan Temple located there.
The area has a problem with sex trafficking.[3] The area is based around a kilometer long lane where female sex workers perform the Mujra dance for potential clients.[4]
