About 16-km northeast of the Rosera ghat railway station of Northeastern Railways the modern village of Karian is situated on a mound, 20-ft high from the surrounding ground level and about 96 acres in area. Local traditions associate this village to be the birthplace of Udayanacharya, a Maithil Brahmin and great philosopher of ancient times who is also supposed to be an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Extensive excavations have revealed at this village antiques of as back as of 2nd century B.C. and afterwards from 6th century AD to post 1200 A.D.This village is the birthplace of philosopher and scholar Udayana alias Udyanacharya
