Golghar, Historic granary in Patna, India
The Golghar features a circular dome structure with a height of 29 meters and diameter of 125 meters, rising above Patna's landscape.
Captain John Garstin designed and built this grain storage facility in 1786 following the devastating Bengal famine of 1770.
The granary stands as a testament to Bihar's agricultural heritage and represents an important architectural achievement from the British East India Company period.
Visitors can climb 145 steps along the spiral staircase to reach the viewing platform, which provides views of the Ganges River and Patna city.
The granary's walls measure 3.6 meters thick at the base and contain no supporting pillars, while its dome produces 27 distinct echoes.
