Bijrani has several majestic tigresses their residing from several years, and you can call her the Queen or Maharani of Bijrani Zone. Hence, that is the reason it is called the land of tigers, while the vivid scenery of this zone, including large grass fields (Chaurs) and dense Sal forest, ample waterholes and river streams, and is none less alluring than the Dhikala zone.
