Patan is a settlement in Nepal, on the outskirts of Kathmandu. The town is sometimes called Lalitpur by some of the older residents, and it is believed that the city's layout was meant to emulate the Wheel of Righteousness from Buddhism. Patan was surrounded by four sacred mounds along the main compass points. Near Durbar Square in the center of town was The Raven, a bar owned by Marion Ravenwood. In 1936, guided by a map provided by Lin-Su, Indiana Jones traveled to Patan looking for Abner Ravenwood and the headpiece to the Staff of Ra.
