The Golghar or Gol Ghar (गोलघर), ("Round house"), located to the west of the Gandhi Maidan in Patna, capital of Bihar state, India is a granary built by Captain John Garstin, in 1786.

After the devastating famine of 1770, which killed nearly 10 million people in regions of Bengal, Bihar and modern day Bangladesh, Warren Hastings, then Governor-General of India, ordered the construction of this beehive shaped structure for the purpose of storing grains for the British Army. It was conceived and built by Captain John Garstin, an engineer with the East India Company, and has a storage capacity of 140000 tons, it construction was completed on 20 July 1786.

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

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 300 steps of its spiral stairway around the monument. The spiral staircase was designed so as to facilitate the passage of the coolies, who had to carry grain-bags up one flight, deliver their load through a hole at the top, and descend the other stairs.

Bhagyavidhaata is an Indian television drama series that airs on Colors since May 2009. Set in the rural district of Motihari, Bihar, the show deals with 2 families: the Sinhas and the Prasads.

Bindiya Prasad, a simple middle-class girl, gets married to wealthy Vinay Sinha through a practice common in her native region-- where a bridegroom is abducted and forced to marry a bride at gunpoint. Bindiya herself is innocent in the matter but, once married, suffers neglect and ill-treatment in the Sinha family. Later, Bindiya's sister Poonam and Vinay's brother Vimlesh fall in love and get married. Bindiya's brother Raja marries Vinay's female cousin Rekha. At long last, Bindiya wins the love and trust of her husband and in-laws. She gets pregnant; however, Vinay is murdered. Akhilesh, the hard-hearted eldest brother of Vinay, takes away Bindiya's newborn son.

After a leap of 20 years, Bindiya lives in the Prasad house with her niece (Rekha and Raja's daughter), Mamta, and adopted daughter, Poorva. Rekha is dead while Raja is in jail, wrongly framed by Akhilesh. In the Sinha house, Akhilesh and his scheming wife Shobha raise Bindiya's son Suraj and treat him like a domestic help. However, he adores them and hates his mother, whom he has never met. Shobha and Akhilesh have three children of their own-- Payal, Prem and Ratan. The story now revolves around Sakshi, the wife of Suraj, who tries to reunite Bindiya and her son, eventually succeeding in her efforts.
