Badi and Choti Patan Devi

Bihar Tourism distinguishes Badi Patan Devi from Choti Patan Devi in Patna. Both names occur in the city's Goddess traditions, so a reference simply to 'Patan Devi' is not enough to identify the entrance, neighbourhood or shrine shown in a photograph.

This directory's Magadh association is a devotional classification. To plan a visit, first choose Badi or Choti Patan Devi and then verify that shrine's address. The age of the tradition should not be used as a construction date for every part of the present temple.
