    Patan Devi, also called Maa Patneshwari, is the oldest and one of the most sacred temples of Patna. It is regarded as one of the 51 Siddha Shakti Pithas in India. According to Puranic legends, the 'right thigh' of the corpse of Devi Sati had fallen here when it was chopped off by Lord Vishnu with his 'Sudarshan Chakra'. The ancient temple, originally called Maa Sarvanand Kari Patneshwari, is believed to be the abode of the goddess Durga. The place can be easily reached from the Patna Bus Station. The temple is just approx. 10 km from the Patna Junction Railway Station. Buses are also available Rickshaws, taxis etc. are available at Patna, Gulzarbagh and Patna City railway stations.

    Situated in narrow bylane besides Takhat Harmandir Sahib. Best to walk last (aprox) 400 mtrs. While coming back it's always a pleasure to checkout any sweet shop or other street shops who are there from generations selling sweet or/and savory in their own style n recipes. Oh, Patna, Alag hi Patna.

    This temple is situated in the Chowk area of Patna City and once was considered as the main presiding deity of Patna. Over the years it has slipped to the second position of eminence, after the Bari Patan Devi temple, as city’s presiding deity, with epithet ‘Choti’ (smaller) to the more popular one, the Bari (bigger) Patan Devi. But a historian called Buchanan was very specific in stating that it was this very temple (Choti Patan Devi) which held the primary position as the city’s presiding deity during 18th and early 19th century. According to the Hindu mythology, once Prajapati Daksha celebrated Brihaspati Yajna and had invited every god to his Yajna but left out Shiva, his own son-in-law. Sati, the wife of Lord Shiva, on learning that her husband had not been invited to her father’s Yajna, went to her father’s home. When Sati found no seat allotted to her husband there, she felt mortified and put an end to her life. Lord Shiva at once came to know of this and in his great anger and sorrow took her dead body on his shoulder and began to perform tandava dance around the Triloka (three worlds). The Gods were horror-struck and requested Lord Vishnu to intervene. Vishnu cleverly followed the dancing Shiva and started cutting the dead body of Sati to pieces with his Chakra. Wherever the major limbs of the body of Sati fell the places became Mahapithas. The places where the minor limbs fell came to be known as Upapithas. There is a tradition fondly believed that some portion of the right thigh of Devi Sati fell in Magadh and it is said that the part of the body of Sati fell in both Maharajganj and Chowk areas in Old Patna city. At these places, the Badi Patan Devi temple and the Chhoti Patan Devi temple were built.

    Needs Much More Development.Narrow & Confusing Lanes,No Clear Demarcations and Present Condition Of The Temple Vicinity Makes It Worse.Currently Under Heavy Renovation . Don't Rely On Google Maps,Take Help Of Locals and Also Donate Only The Bank Account Of Trust And Not To Any Individual Person (Pandit,Trustee,Caretaker,Etc)

  • 5/5 Uma J. 5 months ago on Google
    Religious, Serene, Quite and peaceful Place. Supposedly, one among the 51 shaktipeeth, known as an epithet to the Badi Patan Devi shaktipeeth Going by the legend, the right thigh of devi Sati had fallen here The Temple premises also has a small cow shed. The place is approachable by road till the temple entrance. However, it goes through busy market place and although I saw cars there, I believe that rickshaws are a better option. There are no tickets to visit this place. The temple remains closed in the afternoon please do check timings before visiting. I didn't find anyone selling anything for offerings close to the temple, so if you wish to offer anything to the deity, you may consider carrying it with you before starting.

    It is one of the Shakti Peeths. Like any major hindu temple, it is frequented by pilgrims from all over the country to seek the divine blessings. The place becomes really crowded during dushera and there is no parking space.As thr name suggests , badi patan devi or patneshwari devi temple is the origin of city patna's name . It is one of 51 shaktipeethas , where organ of goddesh sati felt after injury.
