Sher Shah Suri tomb

The tomb of Sher Shah Suri
is in the Sasaram town of Bihar state, India. The tomb was built in memory of

Emperor Sher Shah Suri

‘The tomb of Sher Shah Suri at
Sasaram is an imposing structure of stone standing in the middle of a fine
tank and rising from a large stone terrace. This terrace rests obliquely on a
platform with a flight of steps leading to the water edge. The upper terrace

is enclosed by a battlemented parapet wall with octagonal domed
chambers at four corners, two small projecting pillared balconies on each

of its four sides and pierced with a doorway in the east forms the only
approach to the tomb.’

Very few tourists come to this place and explore it as it is not popular as
many monuments.

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 in Patna
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. Its
construction was completed on 20 July 1786.

Very few tourists come to this place as government of this area doesn’t
encourage tourists to go to this monument .
