It is pillarless with a wall of thickness of 3.6 m at the base. 6. The top of the Golghar presents a wonderful panoramic view of the city and the Ganges flowing nearby.

5. One interesting fact about the Golghar is that never in its existence has it been filled to its maximum capacity and there are no plans in future as well. The reason for this is that due to oversight while designing and construction of the Golghar, the doors were designed to open inside. Thus, if it is filled to its maximum capacity, then the doors will not open. It creates a wonderful echo effect from inside. Two spiraling stairways, rising from the opposing sides, reach to the top, which has a small hole at the centre (2'-7").
