Bailey Road, officially Jawaharlal Nehru Marg, is one of Patna’s main arteries, running west from the city centre past government buildings, offices, shopping complexes and some of the city’s best public spaces. It is home to the Bihar Museum and the Eco Park, as well as many cafés and restaurants. For Myra members, Bailey Road offers some of the most pleasant first-date settings in Patna, combining culture, greenery and convenience. Introductions here often include people from Raja Bazar, Shastri Nagar, Sheikhpura, Saguna More and Rukanpura, depending on your distance limit. A visit to the Bihar Museum, followed by tea, is a calm and interesting first date. The Eco Park is busy with families and walkers in the evening, which makes it a comfortable place for a stroll. Many young professionals and families live along the road, and the newer neighbourhoods towards Saguna More have growing cafés and malls. For a first meeting, choose a place close to where at least one of you lives, to keep travel simple and short. In winter, the museum and park host exhibitions and fairs that make easy second dates. Weekend mornings along the road are calm and pleasant. The road was named after a colonial-era lieutenant governor and was renamed after Jawaharlal Nehru, though the old name is the one everyone uses. The Bihar Museum, opened in 2015, was designed by the Japanese firm Maki and Associates, and its galleries hold the famous Didarganj Yakshi, a polished sandstone sculpture from the Mauryan period.
