Patan is an ancient fortified town situated on the banks of the Saraswati River in northern Gujarat, serving as the historical capital of the Solanki rulers. It is internationally famous for Rani ki Vav (the Queen's Stepwell), a 11th-century UNESCO World Heritage Site decorated with over 500 exquisite sculptures, and as the home of the rare, double-ikat Patola weaving tradition.
It is an exceptional destination to admire India's finest stepwell architecture, explore ancient Jain temples, and witness the dying art of Patola silk weaving.
