Like Delhi, Patna too had been the regal seat of governance for successive kingdoms, since ancient times. With every significant change in the ancient political scenario, the city was renamed. Once upon a time, there was a great king Putraka, who had a queen named “Patali” which means “Trumpet flower”.
