If you have plan to tour Patna, capital of Bihar then must visit Gol Ghar. It is nothing but a round house but it is a historical house and in history it has own importance. It is near Gandhi Maidan. Its look and architecture is very fantastic. I have already wore an introduction in previous post also about it.
It has its own history also. The purpose of making Gol Ghar was to store grains for the British Army. It was time of 1770 when a devastating famine killed about 10 million people of Bengal, Bihar and modern Bangladesh. That time all the area was joint and known as Bengal.
In history of East India Company it was the time of Waren Hestings and Gol Ghar was built by an Engineer Captain John Garstin.
It has great and an unique architecture. Its height about 29 m. and 145 steps to reach on the top. It is most important also from tour and travel point of view because it has historical importance.
