Patna, Capital city in Bihar, India
Patna rises along the southern bank of the Ganges River at 58 meters elevation, extending across 136 square kilometers of fertile land.
The city traces its origins to 490 BCE when King Ajatasatru moved his capital from Rajgir, establishing Pataliputra as a center of power.
The Chhath Puja festival fills the Ganges riverbanks with thousands of devotees performing rituals to honor the Sun God over four days.
The Mahatma Gandhi Bridge spans 5,575 meters across the Ganges River, connecting Patna to Hajipur through multiple traffic lanes.
The ancient metropolis of Pataliputra received recognition in Megasthenes' book 'Indica' as a city at the confluence of the Ganges and Sone rivers.
