Sandish Compound, Sports complex in Bhagalpur, India
Sandish Compound is a sports complex in Bhagalpur featuring a Doordarshan television centre, a volleyball court, and an open stadium positioned opposite the police headquarters. The facility accommodates various sporting events and training activities throughout the year.
The government acquired the land in 1906, naming it after a former British mayor of Bhagalpur. The site was later developed as a key location for sports activities in the city.
The compound serves as a central venue for state-level sports competitions and athletic training. Schools and local athletes regularly use the facilities for practice and organized events.
The facility maintains multiple grounds for various sporting events throughout the year, with winter months offering the most favorable conditions. Visitors should arrive in the early morning or late afternoon to experience the grounds more comfortably and avoid peak activity times.
In 1981, the Bihar cricket team achieved a notable victory on this ground in a state-level match. This match remains memorable in local sports history as one of the few significant cricket events held at the venue.
