Patna

One of the oldest continuously inhabited places ( city ) in the world .

Patna was founded in 490 BCE by the king of Magadha.

Ancient Patna, known as Pataliputra, was the capital of the Magadha Empire under the Haryanka, Nanda, Mauryan, Shunga, Gupta and Pala empires.

Pataliputra was a seat of learning and fine arts.

Patliputra ( present day Patna) is home to many astronomers and scholars including Aryabhata, Vātsyāyana and Chanakya .

Its population during the Maurya period (around 300 BCE) was about 400,000.

Patna served as the seat of power, political and cultural centre of Indian subcontinent during the Maurya and Gupta empires.

With the fall of Gupta Empire, Patna lost its glory. It was revived again in the 17th century by the British as a centre of international trade. Following the partition of Bengal presidency in 1912, Patna became the capital of Bihar and Orissa Province.

The modern city of Patna is situated on the southern bank of river Ganges. The city also straddles the rivers Sone, Gandak and Punpun.

Patna is developing very fast and very soon going tobe considered a metro city .

The Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain pilgrimage centres of Vaishali, Rajgir, Nalanda, Bodh Gaya, and Pawapuri are nearby and Patna City is also a sacred city for Sikhs as the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, was born here.
