Patan

With a rich history, vibrant culture, beautiful architecture and an impressive tradition of folk art, Patan in Gujarat, is one of the most popular tourist attractions of the state. Home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Rani-ki-vav, an exquisite stepwell, Patan has many legendary monuments to its credit. The city also holds dear its various Hindu and Jain temples and mosques, which boast some of the finest architectural styles of their time.

In fact, Patan is believed to have mosques that are even older than the Muslim heritage buildings of Ahmedabad! The city is also a shopper’s delight as the renowned Patola sarees and Mashru fabrics are woven by local families here. Furthermore, there is Sahasralinga Talav in the town depicting the history. It is typically called ‘lake of a thousand lingas’ which is constructed to distribute water from Saraswati.
