The short answer to the question about the Modi Mandir Patna location is that no site has been chosen. No plot has been named, no address exists, and nothing has been built. The Bihar State Transgender Welfare Board approved a proposal on 29 July 2026. A board member then said the board had asked the government for five acres. Asking for land is not the same as getting it. This page explains the difference and tells you what to watch for.
Key takeaways
- No land has been identified or given for the Modi Mandir. No news report we found says otherwise.
- Five acres is a request made by board member Rajan Singh. It is not an approved plot.
- There is no street address, map pin or visiting time. Nobody can visit, because there is nothing to visit.
- According to Mr Singh, the state government is expected to pick the land and pay. No government statement confirming this has been reported.
- We will update this page when a credible report about land appears.
Where is the Modi Mandir in Patna?
Nowhere yet. The proposal says the temple would be in Patna, the capital of Bihar. That is all that has been said about place. Drishti IAS, an exam-preparation and news site, reported on 31 July 2026 that the temple would be built in Patna and did not mention any land at all.
So if you are searching for the Modi Mandir Patna address, there is no honest answer to give. Any website that gives a street, a village, a road name or a Google Maps pin is guessing or making it up. We do not do that.
Please do not travel. There is no temple, no construction site and no office open to visitors. If you want to see real temples in the city, read our guide to temples to visit in Patna.
What exactly was decided on 29 July 2026?
The Bihar State Transgender Welfare Board, called the Bihar Rajya Kinnar Kalyan Board in Hindi, met for the first time on Wednesday, 29 July 2026. Drishti IAS says the board has 28 members, works under the state Social Welfare Department, and was set up in August 2025. The meeting took place at the Social Welfare Department in the Old Secretariat, Patna.
At that meeting the board approved a proposal to build a temple for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The proposal came from board member Rajan Singh. Some outlets, including PTI, spell the name Ranjan. PTI, as carried by ThePrint, quotes him: "I proposed to build a temple for Narendra Modi because he gave us respect and rights."
The approval was a board decision on an idea. It was not an order to build, and it did not choose a site. For the full story of the meeting, see our article on how the board approved the Modi temple proposal.
How much land was asked for, and by whom?
On 11 August 2026, ETV Bharat reported that the board had asked the government for five acres of land. Patna Press reported the same figure the same day, along with a request for Rs 112 crore in government funding. ETV Bharat also reports a life-size golden statue in the plan. Both reports quote Mr Singh. The figures come from his statements, not from a government file or a board document we have seen.
Five acres is about 2 hectares. It is roughly the size of three football pitches. That is a large plot in a crowded city, which is one reason the land question matters.
| Question | What reports say | Who said it |
|---|---|---|
| Where will the temple be? | In Patna. No site named. | Drishti IAS, 31 July |
| Who picks the land? | The state government, after which work would start | Rajan Singh, to Free Press Journal, 29 July |
| How much land? | Five acres requested | Rajan Singh, to ETV Bharat and Patna Press, 11 August |
| Has land been given? | No report of this | Not applicable |
| Is it a sanctioned project? | No. Patna Press calls it "not yet a sanctioned project"; it was to be sent to the Cabinet Secretariat | Patna Press, 11 August |
Who has to decide where it goes?
According to Mr Singh, the state government will identify the land. Free Press Journal quotes him saying that construction would start only after the state government identifies the land, and that the state would bear all the costs. The same newspaper did not include any statement from the government confirming this.
ETV Bharat and Patna Press say the proposal is to go to the Cabinet Secretariat. A cabinet is the group of senior ministers who take big government decisions. Whether the proposal has actually reached it is something we cannot confirm. We have found no public record that it has.
In India, state land is normally given by the state government through its own rules and offices. That process, if it happens, would leave a paper trail: a government order, a named plot, an official announcement. None has been reported. This is general information, not legal advice. For more on the legal side, see our explainer on temples for living people.
What do we know and not know about the Modi Mandir in Bihar?
What we know
- The board approved a temple proposal on 29 July 2026.
- Mr Singh says the board asked for five acres and Rs 112 crore.
- Patna Press calls it "not yet a sanctioned project".
- Patna Press labelled its picture of the temple "an AI-generated image for representation purpose".
What we do not know yet
- Which plot, district or neighbourhood, if any, is being considered.
- Whether the Bihar government supports the idea. We found no statement from it.
- Whether the Prime Minister's Office has responded. Navbharat Live reported on 1 August that it had not.
- Who would own or run the temple, and who would pay.
- Any date for a foundation ceremony or construction. No date has been announced.
Some websites list sites, corridors, trusts, architects or construction schedules for this temple. We could not find any of these in credible news reports, so we do not repeat them.
Why do people think the temple has a place already?
Three things make the project sound further along than it is.
- The word "approved". Headlines said the board approved the temple. That means the board agreed to the idea. It does not mean a government approved land or money.
- Specific numbers. Five acres and Rs 112 crore sound like a finished plan. They are a request. Read more in our fact-check of the Rs 112 crore figure.
- Pictures. Images of a grand golden temple are going round online. Patna Press labels its own picture as AI-generated. A picture of an idea is not a site photo.
| What you may read | What it really means |
|---|---|
| "The board approved the temple" | Board members agreed to the idea. No land, money or government order followed, as far as reports show. |
| "Five acres for the temple" | The board asked for five acres. No plot has been named. |
| "Rs 112 crore project" | A request quoted from Rajan Singh, not a budget. |
| "Golden Modi temple" pictures | An illustration. Patna Press says its image is AI-generated. |
There was also a separate event in Delhi on 20 August 2026, where Mr Singh read a Modi Chalisa at the Press Club of India. The club said it did not organise the event. That event was about a prayer reading, not about land. See what happened at the Press Club if you want the details.
Is there a Modi temple anywhere today?
Not in Patna. A few small temples or shrines for Mr Modi were built by individual followers in other places in earlier years, and some were later removed or changed. Reports differ on the details, so we keep that story in its own articles. Start with where is the Modi Mandir or the wider history of Modi temples in India. Those examples were private efforts. The Patna proposal is different because it asks the state for land.
When could land news come?
We cannot predict this, and we will not guess. If the project moves, these are the signs a reader can look for:
- A written government order or notice naming a plot.
- A statement from the Social Welfare Department or the Chief Minister's office.
- A news report from a major outlet that quotes an official, not only a board member.
- A published budget line or cabinet decision.
Until one of these appears, treat any claim of a location as unconfirmed. For the question of timing, read when will the Modi Mandir be built. For the full set of events so far, see our timeline and the Patna proposal topic page.
Hard words explained
- Allotment: when a government officially hands over a plot of land to a person or group, with papers to prove it.
- Sanctioned: formally approved by the government, usually with money set aside. A project that is only proposed is not sanctioned.
- Cabinet Secretariat: the office that helps ministers prepare and record their big decisions.
- Bhoomi pujan: a prayer ceremony held on the land before building starts. Mr Singh has spoken of inviting the Chief Minister to one, according to Navbharat Live, but no date or site exists.
Common questions
Has land been allotted for the Modi Mandir in Patna?

What is the Modi Mandir Patna address?
There is no address. No plot has been chosen, so no street, map pin or landmark exists.
Can I visit the Modi Mandir in Bihar?
No. Nothing has been built and there is no site open to visitors. Please ignore any page that gives visiting hours or directions.
Who will give the land?
Rajan Singh says the state government will. The government has not confirmed this in any report we found.
