I was all set to go for some shopping and visit the major part of the city. Gandhi Maidan as it is called, is the main hub of the city, which is a major market area as well as has most of the government offices, banks and other organizations around it. It was 5km away from the hotel; I hired a rickshaw to get to the place. The city looked much busier and as it was a working day for the offices, I could see many vehicles on the road and people were rushing to get to their work places. Patna has a modern infrastructure and it looked stylish with tall buildings.
I was happy to a see a tall building that was towering over the others. It looked majestic from a distance. It is the Biscomaun Bhawan, which is known as the tallest building in the city. It also has Patna’s only revolving restaurant. I walked towards the building to know more about it. It really looked tall and as I walked towards it, I saw a security guard. I wanted to enquire a few things so I walked up to him to gather information about the building. He told me that the building was 71m high had most of State Government offices and Nalanda Open University in the building.
Gandhi maidan or Patna lawns is a historical place where several movements of freedom struggle cropped up. It is an extensive ground and has the tallest Gandhiji statue in bronze, which is 70 feet tall. It is a breathtaking sight! The areas around are must see if you are in Patna. I walked along to reach Boring Road that is a popular expensive market in the city. It has shops of all major brands and I could see a large crowd in the area. I did not have much in mind for shopping but got busy clicking photographs of the busy city.
As I walked along, I could see a number of schools in the area. St.Xavier’s High School, Christ Church Diocesan School and so on. Another major institute in the area is the Institute of Fashion Technology. Patna is a great city and has much to offer its visitors.
