Patna, the capital of Bihar, has a rapidly developing nightlife, although it is not known as a party city compared to other urban centers such as Mumbai or Delhi. Nightlife consists mainly of shopping in the bazaars, eating at local restaurants, and cultural performances. There are a handful of clubs and bars for those seeking music and dancing. However, most venues close around midnight due to local regulations. The city also offers moonlight boat trips on the Ganga River for a quieter nighttime experience.
