City Map of Patna - Bihar
Lying on the Southern bank of the Ganges, this lively city of 1.2 million people is the capital of Bihar and one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in the world. The view of the Ganges from the city makes the former look more like a sea than a river: grand, extensive and boundless. Sacred to Sikhs, their tenth and last guru, Gobind Singh, was born here. The monuments all over the city take one down to its glorious past.
These also make Patna an ideal gateway for all the places on the Sikh and Buddhism pilgrimage circuits. The city's foremost landmark is the beehive shaped Golghar, a granary erected to store surpluses as reserves for possible food crisis. |
