Descripción:Patna, la sorprendente capital de Bihar

Por Celia Roca

Si se viaja hasta el estado de Bihar (India), resulta obligado conocer su capital: Patna, situada a orillas del Ganges. Pese a su innegable modernidad, sus orígenes hay que buscarlos hacia el año 600 a.C. Bajo el reinado de las dinastía Maurya (321-185 a.C.) y Gupta (320-540 d.C.), la ciudad, conocida en la antigüedad con el nombre de Pataliputra, llegó a ser una de las más influyentes del continente asiático.

Pese a que Patna ha perdido la relevancia de antaño, aún continúa albergando importantes edificios que despertarán el interés del visitante. Quizás el más representativo sea del Golghar. Erigido en 1786 por el capitán británico John Garstin y concebido como almacén para el grano —aunque jamás llego a utilizarse para tal propósito—, se caracteriza por una espectacular cúpula de 29 m de altura.

Sin embargo, Patna da cabida a otra construcción que sí desempeñó dicha función: el Old Opim Warehouse, un antiguo almacén de opio situado junto a río y perteneciente en la época colonial a la Compañía de las Indias Orientales.

Otra atracción destacable es el Harmandir Sahib (en la foto), lugar que en 1666 fue testigo del nacimiento del llamado décimo gurú, Gobind Singh. Para recordar este acontecimiento, el marajá Ranjit Singh ordenó en el siglo XIX la construcción del actual templo de mármol, que hoy está considerado como uno de los cuatro santuarios sijs más importantes (se puede acceder a él todos los días).

Asimismo, se aconseja acercarse hasta la Khubadksh Library —creada en 1900 y poseedora de una importante colección de manuscritos árabes—, así como a las ruinas de la vieja Pataliputra, en Kumrahar. El museo anejo, abierto de martes a domingo, ofrece la posibilidad de conocer algunos hallazgos pertenecientes al período Maurya.

En lo que atañe a los museos, tampoco conviene olvidarse del Museo Estatal —que atesora diversos objetos y obras de arte pertenecientes a esta etapa histórica, y que puede visitarse de martes a domingo—, y el Museo Jalan (fundado en 1919), en el que se exhibe una ecléctica colección de pintura y artes aplicadas reunida por los antepasados de la familia Jalan. Conviene concertar la visita previamente, llamando al siguiente número de teléfono: (0621) 264 1121.

La antigua ciudad de Pataliputra

Por María José Rubín

Pataliputra es hoy una ciudad en ruinas. Fue absorbida por la moderna localidad de Patna, capital del estado de Bihar. Está situada a orillas del río Ganges, a poca distancia de su confluencia con el Gandak.

Los orígenes de Pataliputra se remontan al siglo V antes de Cristo, y según se sabe fue hogar de Buda. Es por ello que desde siempre ha sido considerada una ciudad sagrada. También ella fue capital, pero del reino de Magadha, además de la sede del tercer gran concilio budista que se llevó a cabo en 341 a.C.

Saqueada en sucesivas ocasiones entre los siglos V y VIII, inició una decadencia que fue salvada temporalmente durante la restauración del siglo XVI, pero ya fuertemente asociada a Patna. Las historias de ambas ciudades se cruzan desde entonces, hasta convertirse en una.

El siglo V a.C., en que fue fundada Pataliputra, fue también el siglo de Buda, y sabemos por él que los monumentos originarios que se construyeron allí eran realmente sorprendente. Fascinado a su llegada por el majestuoso fuerte que estaba siendo edificada en el centro, sobre una alta colina, predijo su futuro esplendor pero también su cruento declive.

Entre los vestigios que han quedado de esa época y de momentos posteriores, destaca el salón de 80 columnas, que hasta hoy asombran tanto a turistas como a expertos y profesionales de la arquitectura.

Del antiguo palacio, quedan algunos muros en ruinas, que pasaron a formar parte de la residencia privada del nawab (gobernante). En nuestros días funciona como un museo en donde se exponen piezas de jade y una importante colección de pinturas chinas.

Un sitio de construcción más reciente pero igualmente recomendable es el Golghar, un granero estatal del año 1786 que cuenta con una extensa escalinata que permite alcanzar la parte superior del edificio. Desde allí se obtienen magníficas vistas de Patna y del río Ganges, y es para los habitantes de la ciudad un lugar de referencia.

Patna City Travel Guide

Patna, Bihar: Patna is the capital city of Bihar situated on the southern bank of the Ganga River. A vital characteristic of the geography of Patna is its convergence of four large rivers in its vicinity in the form of Ghaghara, Gandak, Punpun and Sone. Located at 25°36′40″N 85°08′38″E with an average elevation of 53 meters (174 feet), Patna is also a district headquarters and the second largest city in Eastern India (in terms of population) which has become the largest riverine city in the world.

Recognized as one of the ancient cities of India, the name of Patna city changed with time. There are various theories in existence related to the source of the modern name Patna. Actually, the name has been derived from Patan, a name that came into existence after the Hindu goddess, Patan Devi. It also comes from the term Pattan, which means "port" in Sanskrit because of the fact that the city was situated close to the confluence of four rivers and has been a popular river port. It may even be a concise form of Pataliputra, one of the oldest names of this city.

The Greeks used to call the city as Palibothra. Megasthenes belonging to the period of 350-290 BC, the Greek historian, called it in Greek as Palibothra or Palimbotra. The city appears in the records of the Chinese traveler, Fa Hien, as well in the form of Pa-lin-fou. It has been known by several names during it's over 2,000 years of existence such as Patligram, Patliputra, Kusumpur, Pushpapura, Azimabad, and finally as Patna. This historical city had got its present name during the rule of Sher Shah Suri, whose tomb is located at Sasaram, near Patna.

According to the legend, the origin of Patna is related to a mythological King Putraka who created Patna through the magical powers of his queen Patali, literally translates to "trumpet flower", which gives it its ancient name Pataligrama. It is believed that as a mark of respect to the queen's first-born, the city was named as Pataliputra. 'Gram' is a Sanskrit word, which means village and Putra translates to son.

Patna has been a popular agricultural place of trade since times immemorial. The most rampant export products consist of grain, sugarcane, sesame, and medium-grained Patna rice. There are several sugar mills still prevalent in Patna and around its neighboring regions. It is a crucial business and luxury brand center located in eastern India.

According to 2011 stats, the economic development of Patna has witnessed consistent economic growth. Specifically, the economy has been enhanced greatly with the growth in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry, the service sector apart from the Green revolution businesses. During the year 2009, the World Bank conferred upon Patna with the status of the second best city in India to set up a business. According to 2010 reports, the per capita income of Patna was recorded as Rs.37737.

Patna is rated as the 21st fastest growing city in the world, and the fifth fastest growing city in India. It is assumed that the city's growth will be at an average annual rate of 3.72%.

The boom in the property market in recent times in Patna has nonplussed one and all. The city would soon be represented commercially with a minimum of 15 big shopping malls in various areas. Moreover, the establishment of over 15 malls is in the pipeline in the next two years.

Hindi is the official language of the state of Bihar. However, several other languages too are spoken. The local dialect is Magadhi or Magahi that derived its name after the Magadha dynasty, which is also the ancient name of Bihar. English is spoken chiefly by Patnaites and other popularly spoken dialects and languages include Angika, Bhojpuri and Maithili.

Though geographically situated in the Magadh region of Bihar, several residents of Patna are natives of one of the four other constituent regions, which are Bhojpur, Mithila, Vajj, and Anga. Intermarriages and traditional mixing of cultures among the people of the five regions has been very normal. Residents are religious and give a lot of respect to family traditions. Large families can be seen predominantly in the region with the government still actively encouraging family planning programs to reduce quick population growth. Extended families often stay together in one home due to economic constraints.

As for the cuisines, Khichdi, which is the broth of rice and lentils, laced with spices and served hot with various supplementary items like curd, chutney, pickles, papads, ghee (clarified butter) and chokha (boiled or mashed potatoes, adorned with finely chopped onions, green chillies) is a popular dish. Lunch mostly contains rice and vegetables. Meanwhile, the dinner comprises of chapattis, flatbread and lentils.

The city of Patna is famous for the dry sweet delicacies of central Bihar having their origins in different towns. For instance, Khaja from Silao, Ladoo from Maner, Kala Jamun from Vikram, Khubi ka Lai from Barh, Kesaria Peda from Gaya, Chena Murki from Koelwar and Poori from Behea. In contrast to Bengali sweets that are soaked in sugary syrup and are wet, the sweets of Bihar are mostly dry.

Patna is one of the earliest major centres of education in East India. Patna University, the first university in Bihar, was set up in 1917 and is the seventh oldest university in South Asia Sub-continent.

En 1763 los ingleses, tras una breve pero reñida contienda con el nawab de Bengala se adueñaron de Patna, la cual bajo el régimen colonial del Reino Unido fue declarada capital del Bihār y la provincia de Orissa; en 1935 Patna pasó a ser capital del Bihār, estatus que ha mantenido desde la independencia de la India en 1947.
