History

Gaighat is an old neighbourhood of Patna and was earlier known as Gaughat. The word Gaighat is made up of two Hindi words Gai (Cow:English or Gau:Sanskrit) and Ghat. It is of historical and religious significance for Hindus and Sikhs. One of the oldest Gurudwaras in the region, Gurdwara Gai Ghat is situated in the area. Sikh Gurus Guru Nanak and Guru Tegh Bahadur visited the area in 15th and 16th Century. It is believed, Guru Tegh Bahadur made the river Ganges come in the form of "Gai" (cow) to a very old saint, Jaitamal, who could not go to the riverbank due to his old age. The neighbourhood was thus named 'Gaighat'.[3]
