From Wikitravel

Madhupur is a city in Deoghar district of Jharkhand. It is considered a health resort particularly because the water there rectifies many stomach and digestion ailments. In olden times, there were many notable people, particularly from Bengal, who owned a house in Madhupur and lived there for long periods whenever they could. Amongst them were Sir Asutosh Mookerjee. His younger son, Uma Prasad Mookerjee, the writer famous for some of his travel books spent even more time there. Their house Ganga Prasad Bhaban is still there. Earlier Deoghar district was part of Santhal Parganas. The place has lost its earlier popularity but people still go there.
