WhatsApp Business API for Aurangabad (Bihar) makers, dealers and lodges
Aurangabad sits where NH-19 meets NH-139, 140 km from Patna, in a district its own site calls agrarian and drought-prone yet home to a power station and a cement plant. Every customer here is in one of a few states, and each state allows different messages.
For Aurangabad, Bihar's carpet, blanket and brassware makers, its cement dealers and the suppliers around NTPC Nabinagar, its grain and strawberry growers and the lodges near Deo and Umga: how the official WhatsApp Business API tracks each contact from first message to opt-out, why templates go in Hindi, and what each costs.

Where a blanket buyer stands with an Aurangabad workshop
A wholesaler from Ranchi picks up a blanket workshop's number at a fair. Step through the states the contact can be in, and switch paths to see what happens when the buyer goes quiet or says STOP.
Most of a workshop's WhatsApp day is the second state: a buyer asks, and someone answers within the 24-hour service window. The other states are about messages the workshop starts, and they depend on what the buyer agreed to.
Keep one record per contact: when they first wrote, when and how they agreed to updates or offers, and whether they said STOP. The India guide covers consent under the DPDP Act.

Aurangabad, Bihar in ten lines
From the Aurangabad district website's home, history, economy, tourism and how-to-reach pages, Invest India's ODOP list and IBEF's Bihar profile.
Aurangabad district was created on 26 January 1973, under a notification of 19 January 1973.[2]
In 1865, when Bihar district was separated from Patna, Aurangabad became one of its subdivisions.[2]
The district covers 3,389 sq km, with 11 blocks and 1,884 villages.[1]
It lay in the ancient kingdom of Magadh, and under Sher Shah Suri formed part of the Rohtas sirkar; Fateh Narayan Singh of Deo later supported Kunwar Singh against the British.[2]
The district calls its economy agrarian and drought-prone; rice, wheat, gram, lentil and rapeseed are the main crops.[3]
Electricity from NTPC at Nabinagar, cement, and carpets, blankets and brassware are the district's industries.[3]
Deo, Deo Kund, Umga, Amjhar Sharif, Pawai, Mali and Chandangadh, Piru and Siris are its main tourist places; October to March is the season.[4]
NH-19, the old Grand Trunk Road, meets NH-139 at Aurangabad; Patna is 140 km by road, Ranchi about 231 km, and Anugrah Narayan Road station about 9 km.[5]
