'''Bharatpura''' village in the [[Paliganj]] sub-division is a sleepy hamlet about 45 km from [[Patna]].<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.biharkhojkhabar.com/भरतपुरा-लाइब्रेरी-दुर्ल/|title=Bharatpura Library: Rare Manuscripts Mine " }}</ref> It houses G N Public Library that possesses more than 5,000 rare manuscripts in [[Sanskrit]], Arabic and [[Persian language|Persian]]. Bharatpura is named after its ruler Raja Bharat Singh who was the founder of Bharatpura Gadh. His descendants, came to be known as the Dhari Family. Some of them also migrated to nearby places like Lalgnj Sehra and Dharhara. In the years to come they ruled the Lalganj Sehra Estate and Dharhara Estate during the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] period and later become the [[Zamindar]]s in the British period. Post independence in 1947 the Zagir and Zamindari was seized by the government and large part of the family got settled in Patna.

Dozens of coins, including the gold-mix coins belonging to the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]]<ref>{{cite web|url= https://bankifsccode.com/PUNJAB_NATIONAL_BANK/BIHAR/PATNA/BHARATPURA|title=PUNJAB NATIONAL BANK Bharatpura IFSC Code, MICR Code details Bihar }}</ref> period were recently discovered here. They, in effect, prove beyond doubt that the whole region had a vibrant medieval culture.

In<ref>{{cite web|url= https://sites.google.com/site/bharatpurapatna/|title=Bharatpura Garh Patna }}</ref> the last six years, 1,314 such coins have been recovered from this site alone.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.bhaskar.com/news/BIH-PAT-HMU-MAT-latest-patna-news-020003-2521863-NOR.html|title=Bharatpura library linked to NIC}}</ref> This region needs a thorough exploration to ascertain the archaeological importance of this site, feel experts. Secretary of the Gopal Narain Public Library, Dhrupad N Singh said that on 17 July, when some labourers were digging the field located adjacent to the boundary wall of the library on the southern corner, they suddenly found a copper pot containing 40 coins of the medieval period. While the copper coins belong to the slave and tughlaq dynasties, the gold-mix coins belong to periods of [[Babur]] and [[Akbar]]. Sensing the historical significance of these coins, singh gave them to director of the K. P. Jayaswal Research Institute (kpjri) Bijay Kumar Chaudhary for examining them so as to ascertain their importance. following a preliminary examination, chaudhary said that the coins were of great archaeological importance. "some of them are rare ones," he added.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://hi.indianbankifsc.com/hindi-bharatpura-patna-bihar-branch-punjab-national-bank-ifsc-code-punb0145500|title=पंजाब नेशनल बैंक (PNB) भरतपुरा पटना बिहार शाखा – बिहार के आईएफएससी (IFSC) और एमआईसीआर (MICR) कोड }}</ref>

The surroundings of this library are dotted with mounds of archaeological importance. This library is also located on one of them. Away back in 1995, the then director, state archaeology, Prakash Charan Prasad had discovered at least 100 punch-marked coins on the library premises. Again, in 1996, hundreds of copper and silver coins were discovered. The former assistant director of state archives, S A Kazmi had examined these coins, which belonged to the [[Sher Shah Suri|Sher Shah]] and [[Aurangzeb]] periods.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://pincode.net.in/BIHAR/PATNA/B/BHARATPURA|title = Pin Code: BHARATPURA, PATNA, BIHAR, India, Pincode.net.in}}</ref>
At least 200 coins were discovered from this site about a year-and-a-half ago. The then district magistrate of Patna had got them examined by some experts in order to ascertain their date and importance.{{fact|date=November 2018}}

To preserve<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.icbse.com/schools/m-s-bharatpura/10280304703|title= Bharatpura School Patna, Bihar }}</ref> the rich cultural heritage of Bharatpura village, the directorate had put a complete ban on digging in and around the Bharatpura library campus away back in 1995. District and police officials had also been informed about it, but no follow-up action has been taken so far. Singh pointed out that several rare coins have been missing. several complaints have been made by the villagers regarding the theft of coins. Unless the centre takes over this library, the condition of this library is unlikely to improve.{{fact|date=November 2018}}
