Patna and Rajgir – Two Historical cities of Bihar

Patna is the capital of the Indian state of Bihar and the second largest city in terms of population in eastern India. The ancient Patna, known as Pataliputra, was the capital of the Magadha Empire under the Haryanka, Nanda, Mauryan, Sunga, Gupta, Pala and Suri dynasties. It is located on the south bank of the river Ganga.

There are several theories regarding the source of the name Patna:

It is etymologically derived from Patan, the name of the Hindu goddess, Patan Devi.

It comes from Pattan (meaning “port” in Sanskrit), since the city, located near the confluence of four rivers, has been a thriving river port.

It may be a short form of Pataliputra, one of the most ancient names of this city.

The Greeks called it Palibothra. Megasthenes (350-290 BCE), the Greek historian, referred to it in Greek as Palibothra or Palimbotra.

The city has been known by various names during its more than 2,000 years of existence – Patligram, Patliputra, Kusumpur, Pushpapura, Azimabad, and the present-day Patna.

Patna received its current name during the reign of Sher Shah Suri, whose tomb is at Sasaram, near Patna.
