Meet verified people around Fraser Road, Patna

Fraser Road, now officially Nehru Path in parts, runs through central Patna near Gandhi Maidan, the city’s great open ground. Around it are hotels, shops, offices, cinemas and some of Patna’s oldest restaurants, as well as landmarks such as Gol Ghar and the Ganga ghats a short walk to the north. For Myra members, the Fraser Road area is a central, easy-to-reach meeting point for people coming from different parts of the city. Introductions here often include people from Exhibition Road, Dak Bungalow, Gandhi Maidan, Kadamkuan and Patna Junction area. A coffee in a central café, followed by a walk to Gol Ghar or the riverside at Gandhi Ghat, makes a memorable first date. The area is busy during the day and evening, so it feels lively and public. Many families and professionals come here for shopping and food, and the restaurants around Dak Bungalow crossing are popular. For a calm first meeting, choose a café rather than the crowded shopping streets, and plan your visit to the ghats for sunset, when the evening aarti takes place. In winter, the book fair at Gandhi Maidan is a popular outing for readers. The road was named after Sir Andrew Fraser, a colonial administrator, and the Gol Ghar granary was built in 1786 after a severe famine. The Indira Gandhi Planetarium nearby, built in the shape of a large dome, runs regular shows.
