Patan is a town in Sumerpur block of Unnao District in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. It is located 16km south of Purwa on the main Unnao-Allahabad road, and a short distance to the south of the Loni river. Part of the historical region of Baiswara, it historically gave its name to a pargana which existed since at least the time of Akbar, and under the Nawabs of Awadh it was the seat of a tehsil. The Rae Bareli-Kanpur branch of the Northern Railway zone runs through Patan, and the Takia train station is located in the village. A huge fair called the Takia-ka-Mela is held in Patan on the first Thursday in Paus, in honour of the saint Niamat Shah, revered by both Hindus and Muslims, drawing tens of thousands of visitors.
