Golghar

Golhgar is a historical monument and is situated in the city. The structure was built in 1786 by Captain John Garstin to serve as a storehouse. However, due to an engineering malfunction, the doors open inwards only and in case the granary was filled, the doors would never open. Hence, Golghar never served the purpose it was built for but managed to give the city a beautiful monument to cherish. On visiting here, you get a stunning view of the entire city and the Ganges.
