Areas in and around Patna
Wedding planning in Patna: areas to consider
For a wedding in Patna, families often compare marriage lawns and banquet halls around Bailey Road, Boring Road, Atal Path, Saguna More and Patliputra Colony, and along the Bypass towards Kankarbagh and Jaganpura. A celebration near Danapur needs a different pickup plan from one close to Patna Junction or the airport.

Begusarai is home to Kanwar Lake, a Ramsar wetland where migratory birds arrive each winter, and to Simaria Ghat on the Ganga, where families gather for Kartik Kalpvas. It is also the birthplace of Rashtrakavi Ramdhari Singh Dinkar. We can plan guest travel from Patna for a wedding, a family function or a Kalpvas visit here.
