Golghar, a distinctive granary in Patna, Bihar, stands as an enduring symbol of British-era ingenuity. Built in 1786 by Captain John Garstin, this monumental structure was commissioned by the East India Company to store grain and combat famines. Its unique beehive-like shape, with a height of 29 meters and a base diameter of 125 meters, makes it an engineering wonder. The granary lacks pillars and features a spiral staircase with 145 steps, allowing visitors to climb to the top for breathtaking views of the Ganga River and the bustling city of Patna.
Though it never served its intended purpose effectively, Golghar remains a popular tourist spot and an integral part of Bihar's cultural heritage. It is surrounded by lush greenery, making it a serene escape for visitors. With ongoing restoration efforts, the Golghar continues to charm and educate generations about India's rich architectural history. A visit to Patna is incomplete without experiencing the awe of this iconic structure!
