Patan district, Administrative district in Gujarat, India

The Patan district spans across northern Gujarat with nine administrative subdivisions called talukas, including Shankheshwar, Sami, and Siddhpur.

The district emerged as a significant administrative region during the medieval period when its capital city served as the seat of the Chavda and Chaulukya dynasties.

The district maintains traditional silk weaving practices, producing intricate Patola sarees through a complex double ikat technique passed through generations.

The district connects to major cities through an extensive network of roads and railways, with regular bus services operating between different talukas.

The Rani ki Vav stepwell, constructed in the 11th century, features over 500 principal sculptures and more than 1000 minor ones across seven levels.
