Patna district, Administrative district in Bihar, India
Patna district stretches along the Ganges River in eastern India, featuring flat terrain and fertile agricultural lands. The region centers on Patna city, which serves as the main urban hub with significant commercial and administrative functions.
The region was home to Pataliputra, capital of the Mauryan Empire, which emerged around 490 BCE. This ancient city remained a center of power and learning across centuries until the empire declined.
The area maintains strong educational traditions through Patna University and numerous institutions that draw students from across the nation. These centers remain active parts of daily life in the region.
The district connects to major Indian cities through extensive railway networks and national highways, with an international airport serving the city of Patna. Visitors should plan for humid weather during monsoon season and use local transport to explore the wider area.
The Golghar, a massive grain storage structure built in 1786, stands as one of the district's most recognizable landmarks on Patna's skyline. Visitors can climb the exterior spiral for views across the city and the river below.
