About this Destination

Home to Rani Ka Vav, the latest Indian entrant to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Site, Patan is a treasure trove of architectural gems and ancient temples that has a history dating back to the medieval period. Situated in Gujarat, this place is located at the banks of what are the remains of ancient Saraswati river. Having been the capital of the state for as many as 650 years in the medieval period, Patan has a lot of historical value and has been a part of the research of archaeologists in the past. Just as it has temples, it also has Dargah and Jain temples. Patan is a spiritual city and strongly believes that it is their Kuldevi and her presence that has kept the town intact and its people happy and growing.
