Patna Diaries Episode 2 Gandhi Maidan Patna Bihar & Golghar Patna Bihar: FACTS



GANDHI MAIDAN:

Gandhi Maidan, previously known as the Patna Lawns, is a historic ground at Patna near the banks of Ganges River, in Bihar, India. The Golghar falls to its west.



The world's tallest Gandhi statue was unveiled at the historic Gandhi Maidan. The 70-feet tall bronze statue was inaugurated by the CM Nitish Kumar on 15 February 2013.



GOLGHAR:

The Golghar or Gol Ghar (?????), ("Round house") is a large granary located to the west of the Gandhi Maidan in Patna, capital of Bihar state, India.



According to a contemporary inscription at its base, the Golghar was intended to be just the first of a series of huge grain stores. In the end, however, no others were ever built. The granary was "part of a general plan … for the perpetual prevention of famine in these provinces ordered in 1784 by Warren Hastings, the then Governor-General of India.



The beehive-shaped structure was designed by Captain John Garstin of the Bengal Engineers, part of the East India Company's Bengal Army. Construction was completed on 20 July 1786.



A drive to improve the appearance of the structure was begun in 2002.



Built in the Stupa architecture, the building has a width of 125 m, and a height of 29 m. It is pillar-less with a wall of thickness of 3.6 m at the base. One can climb at the top of the Golghar through the 145 steps of its spiral stairway around it. The spiral staircase was designed to facilitate the passage of the workers who loaded and unloaded the grain is the granary, who 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.



Golghar has never been filled to its maximum capacity and there are no plans to do so. The reason for this is a flaw whereby the doors are designed to open inwards. Thus, if it is filled to its maximum capacity, then the doors will not open.Presently renovation of this historical monument is underway.

A Basic Introduction about your own poet Kishore

Image
Hi Friends, My name is Kishore Kumar Banerjee. Presently I reside in Kolkata. I was born on 31/05/1989 (basically which means I am a young poet, LOL) in Tinsukia, Assam. So, the passion about poetry evolved when I shifted to Kolkata (A City of Art & Joy) in 2007. Though the scenario was complete due to a regular heart break & depression which is a regular medicine for a Poet. Here, I will be sharing my Poems which I penned on regular basis. My Poems basically highlights love, passion, depression, confusion, isolation, insomnia all such kinds of topic. So, a regular unemployed youth fallen in love whose consequence was a heart break can attach themselves totally to it. Though I am employed now, still the hidden talent works. So friends wait a little for the first publication of my first poem. Keep your fingers crossed as most of you will attach yourselves to the lines of my Poem. Wishing you all a merry journey to my world of poem. Regards, Kishore Kumar Banerjee
