Patna is the capital of Bihar, one of India\u2019s poorest states. Many families there do not have enough money, jobs, or opportunities. Some people move from villages to the city hoping to find work and build a better life. Kolkata is the capital of West Bengal. It is famous for its art, music, books, history, and schools. But many people in the city still live in crowded places and face difficult challenges.<\/p><p>In both cities, some vulnerable people are tricked or forced into unsafe situations. Some communities also experience unfair treatment because of the caste they were born into. This can make it harder for them to go to do many things or even to be accepted by others. No one should be treated as less important because of their family or background. We are all made in the image of God and are unique and specially loved.<\/p><p>Behind the busy streets and huge populations of Patna and Kolkata are millions of people who are loved by God. Each person has hopes, faces struggles, and deserves to be treated with dignity, fairness, and love.<\/p>\n      <dl class=\"facts\"><div><dt>Where is it?<\/dt><dd>Patna is in Bihar and Kolkata is in West Bengal, two states in eastern India.<\/dd><\/div><div><dt>Landscape<\/dt><dd>Both cities are busy, crowded places on the flat, fertile plains near the Ganges River.<\/dd><\/div><div><dt>Why do many visit?<\/dt><dd>People visit for work, education, family, business, culture, history, and art.<\/dd><\/div><div><dt>Daily life<\/dt><dd>People go to school and work, travel through busy streets, shop in markets, care for their families, and worship in many different ways.<\/dd><\/div><\/dl>\n      <div class=\"btns\"><a class=\"btn ghost\" href=\"https:\/\/110cities.com\/cities\/patna\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More prayer points for Patna<\/a> <a class=\"btn ghost\" href=\"https:\/\/110cities.com\/cities\/kolkata\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More prayer points for Kolkata<\/a><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div>\n      <figure class=\"photo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/110cities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/chpg26-day-05-photo.jpg\" alt=\"A busy Kolkata street with a yellow taxi\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@iamskydey?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Akash Dey<\/a> on Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n      <div class=\"spot\"><p><b>For ages 6\u20138:<\/b> Spot it: can you find two roses, a bushel of onions, and a guy riding a motorbike?
