PATNA - SIVA MANDIR

This holy city, in addition to enshrining two Saktipithas - Bara Patan Devi and Chota Patan Devi, built at the spots, where Mother Sati's pat-saree fell, when Mahavishnu, cut her corpse during lord Siva's carrying her, also claims one modest temple where Sivalinga is worshipped and prayer services are offered according to Saivagamas. May be due to predominance of Saktipithas, this shrine is neither adorned with due sculptural art, nor blessed with magnetic pull as the other Sakti Mandirs. Yet, it has all necessary parts of a temple. This was built recently. Here one can feast his eyes with a charming Sivalinga and ears with Sivalama mahima. Ardent devotees visit it regularly. All festivals as conducted in the Sivaalayas are celebrated annually.

It lies in the centre of the capital and so accessible by all types of vehicles.
