Once known as Pataliputra, the city of Patna sits proudly on the southern bank of the river Ganges, gazing across at the rivers Sone, Gandak, and Punpun. Covering an area of around 35 kilometres in length and 16-18 kilometres wide, Patna has the distinction of being the 19th largest city in India. Established in 490 BCE by the king of Magadha, Patna has been a consistent player on the stage of Indian history, serving as the seat of power for various dynasties, including the Maurya and Gupta empires.

The British resurrected Patna as a centre of international trade in the 17th century, and it became the capital of Bihar and Orissa Province post partition of Bengal presidency in 1912. Today, Patna is the 21st fastest growing city in the world and the 5th fastest in India, with a robust economy and a diverse cultural scene. The city holds a deep significance for religious communities, including Buddhists, Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs, and boasts a number of pilgrimage centres nearby.

When to visit Patna

With its rich tapestry of historical magnificence, Patna invites travellers through the year. However, the most pleasant time to visit this capital city is during the cool winter months from October to March. The scorching summer heat can be overwhelming for many travellers, hence it's typically not the best time to visit. However, the monsoons unveil a whole new facet of the region with its sporadic yet mesmerising rains. Whichever season you choose, be sure to include attractions like Golghar, Patna Planetarium, and Takht Sri Patna Sahib in your itinerary for an unforgettable Patna experience.
