East India is a region of India consisting of the states of West Bengal , Orissa , and often Jharkhand and Bihar . It is geographically between North India and North-East India , and shares many cultural and linguistic characteristics with Bangladesh , which formed part of this region before Partition . The Indo-Aryan Languages spoken in this region descend from That of the ancient kingdom of Magadha . Durga is a particularly popular deity in this region. Bengali culture, and to a certain extent that of Orissa, has been profoundly influenced by the Bengal Renaissance and subsequent cultural development. Kolkata is the great metropolis of the region.
