GolGhar

GolGhar The Golghar or Gol Ghar located to the west of the Gandhi Maidan in Patna, capital of Bihar state, India. It has a storage capacity of 140000 tons.

It is a granary built by Captain John Garstin, in 1786.Built in the native Stupa architecture, the building has a foundation of 125m, and a height of 29 m. It is pillarless with a wall of thickness of 3.6 m at the base. One can climb atop the Golghar through the 145 steps of its spiral stairway around the monument. The spiral staircase was designed so as to facilitate the passage of the coolies, w

ho had to carry grain-bags up one flight, deliver their load through a hole at the top, and descend the other stairs.The top of the Golghar presents a wonderful panoramic view of the city and the Ganges flowing nearby. At time of its construction, it was the tallest building in Patna.One interesting fact about the Golghar is that never in its existence has it been filled to its maximum capacity . The reason for this is that due to oversight while designing and construction of the Golghar, the doors were designed to open inside. Thus, if it is filled to its maximum capacity, then the doors will not open.It has a storage capacity of 140000 tons. Gandhi Maidan is a large park around which are a couple of sights. Its dual spiralling staircases (250 steps each side), designed so that workers could climb up one side and down the other, lead to an unparalleled view of the city and Ganges.

Share The Video... Share The Vision... Believe in Bihar!!

बिहार में ज्ञान और शिक्षा की परंपरा हज़ारों वर्ष की है | राज्य की हर पीढ़ी की ज़िम्मेदारी है कि इस विरासत को न केवल संजोए बल्कि इसे संवार कर आने वाली पीढ़ियों को सौंपे | हम सब इस तरह के प्रयास निरंतर करते रहें और साथ ही इन्हें share कर लोकप्रिय भी करें ताकि प्रत्येक बिहारी के मन में राज्य के प्रति गौरव और ज़िम्मेदारी का बोध हो | बिहार व बिहारीपन के प्रति अगर किसी तरह का दुर्भाव किसी के मन में व्याप्त हो तो उस तक हमारी विरासत, संस्कृति और राज्य के विकास के प्रति हमारे कृतसंकल्प की कहानी पहुंचे और हर मन में बिहार के प्रति सम्मान का भाव उत्पन्न हो |

बिहार दिवस का दिन है बिहार व बिहारीपन के गौरव का, राज्य के विकास के प्रति संकल्प लेने का, अपने संकल्पों को दोहराने का और नई ऊर्जा से इस मिशन में जुट जाने का | जय बिहार, जय भारत |
