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`[1] 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. A drive to improve the appearance of the structure was begun in 2002
