A granary filled with history

Drones are generally a good way of getting a bird's-eye view of a city. But if you are in Patna, Bihar, and don't have a drone, the Gol Ghar in Patna may arguably provide a better view of the city.

This massive stone structure, built in the late 18th century as a granary to protect the British army and the general public against famine, stands as one of the most iconic landmarks in the capital city of Bihar. Though its original purpose was functional rather than aesthetic, the Gol Ghar's striking circular design and towering presence have made it a celebrated destination for tourists and locals alike.
