A storehouse, treasury, or granary; an Indian term for a warehouse or place where goods are kept and distributed.
From Hindi भंडार (bhāndār), derived from Sanskrit भाण्डार (bhāndāra), likely connected to root words meaning 'to store' or 'container.' The word reflects ancient Indian commerce and resource management.
In medieval India, the bhandar was the economic heart of a kingdom—the royal treasurer (bhandari) controlled not just money but grain, weapons, and luxury goods, making them more powerful than generals!
