Fateh means “Victory” and Sikri is “village” on which city was built by Akbar in 1571. It is a UNESCO world heritage site and about 40 kms from Agra. It has Jodha Bai's palace, Jama Mosque, Buland Darwaza, Tomb of Salim Chisti, Diwan-i-Aam, Diwan-i-Khas, Ibadat Khana, and several other places. It is a harmonious blend of Indo-Islamic architecture. The complex is very big and needs around 2-3 hours to visit and enjoy properly. Upon entering the complex there is a vast courtyard and several structures seen around. There is UP Tourism hotel near the complex which gives a good stay. There are several photographic points in the complex.

First of all, this place is just 5 min walk from fatehpur sikri fort, one has to open shoes and wear bathroom slippers provided by the shoekeeper outside. There are lots and lots of small vendors, kids and people acting as guides and kids from nearby villages following to receite shayari in 50 rupees. These vendors are also allowed inside the premises and follows you till the parking spot. The vendors even captures the buland darwaza and not a single proper photograph of buland darwaza can be captured. Salim chisti's dargah is inside and the guide misses no chance to take you for buying chadar at 10x costs. The small one is for single person starting at 1100 rupees and the so called family chadar they sell from 5100 to 11000 rupees. This place stinks, vendors are looting, everyone here even the sweepers and cleaners exclaims that they receive no salary and is totally dependent on the tourists who pay them, is that even a true lie to believe? Everywhere people wanted to loot as much as they can and guides have set commissions to bring us to them plus their charge. Will recommend to visit the dargah but bring along everything from outside.

Buland darwaza is one of the biggest darwaza of India. It is very big in size and a masterpiece of the red stone gates. It is really beautiful and awesome as I have see it. I will prefer all to go and visit this buland darwaza and Fatehpur Sikri fort and Jodha bai's palace. It is better visit during winters because during summers there is too much heat and the temperature rises which may be a trouble too.🔥🔥

Buland Darwaza, or the "Door of Victory", was built in 1575 by Mughal emperor Akbar to commemorate his victory over Gujarat. It is the main entrance to the Jama Masjid at Fatehpur Sikri, which is 43 km from Agra. Buland Darwaza is the highest gateway in the world and is an example of Mughal architecture. It displays sophistication and heights of technology in Akbar's empire.

Buland Darwaza, also known as the "Gate of Magnificence," is an architectural masterpiece that left me in awe during my visit. Located in Fatehpur Sikri, near Agra, this imposing gateway is a testament to the grandeur and splendor of the Mughal era. As I approached Buland Darwaza, I couldn't help but be amazed by its sheer size and intricate detailing. Standing at an impressive height of 54 meters, it is one of the tallest gateways in the world. The red sandstone structure with its ornate carvings and intricate marble inlays exudes a sense of power and majesty. The craftsmanship displayed on the gateway is truly remarkable. The intricate geometric patterns, calligraphy, and decorative motifs are a testament to the skill and artistry of the Mughal artisans. Each detail tells a story and adds to the overall grandeur of the structure. Walking through the massive entrance, I felt a sense of awe and reverence. The colossal gateway, adorned with elegant arches and towering minarets, commands attention and leaves a lasting impression. It serves as a symbol of the Mughal empire's might and the architectural prowess of the time. Not only is Buland Darwaza an architectural marvel, but it also holds historical significance. It was built by Emperor Akbar to commemorate his victory over Gujarat and stands as a symbol of his military triumphs. Visiting Buland Darwaza is an absolute must for history and architecture enthusiasts. It offers a unique opportunity to witness the grandeur of the Mughal era and marvel at the incredible craftsmanship of the time. I highly recommend a visit to Buland Darwaza for anyone traveling to Fatehpur Sikri or the Agra region. It is a majestic gateway that showcases the architectural brilliance and historical legacy of the Mughal empire.

Good historical place. Try to get a guide or get informed through Google, shoes aren't allowed inside but try to carry them instead of keeping them somewhere. I believe cleanliness and traffic should be improved which are common in these areas

Buland Darwaza , or the "Door of victory", was built in 1602 A.D.[1] by Mughal emperor Akbar to commemorate his victory over Gujarat. It is the main entrance to the Jama Masjid at Fatehpur Sikri, which is 43 km from Agra, India.Buland Darwaza is the highest gateway in the world and is an example of Mughal architecture. It displays sophistication and heights of technology in Akbar's empire. ARCHITECTURE The Buland Darwaza is made of red and buff sandstone, decorated by white and black marble and is higher than the courtyard of the mosque. The Buland Darwaza is symmetrical and is topped by large free standing kiosks, which are the chhatris. It also has terrace edge gallery-kiosks on the roof, stylized buckler-battlements, small minar-spires, and inlay work with white and black marble. On the outside a long flight of steps sweeps down the hill giving the gateway additional height. It is 40 metres high and 50 metres from the ground. The total height of the structure is about 54 metre from the ground level. It is a 15-storied high gateway acting as the southern entrance of the city of Fatehpur Sikri. The approach to the gate consists of 42 steps.[6] It is semi octagonal in plan with two smaller triple-storeyed wings on either side. It has three kiosks on its top surrounded by thirteen smaller domed kiosks. There are smaller turrets surrounding the gateway.[4][5] The expanse is broken by arched niches, small chhatris and marbles which highlights the courtyard of the Jama Masjid. The principal arch stands in the centre of three projecting sides and topped by a dome. The central arch is broken into three tiers with rows of smaller arches and flat brackets.[7] The great gate itself is plain. The three horizontal panels of buff stone noticeable in Badshahi Darwaza are also present here. The plain red sandstone spandrels are framed in white marble with a flower like ornament inlaid in white marble at the apex of the arch, and a flattish rosette, centered with the narrow panel above it, on either side. The cusped ornament, large and bold in fact, but small and delicate when seen from below, is carried down below the springing of the arch. Two pieces have been broken off from the left hand side and eight from the right. The arch has three actual openings bordered by decorative panels and superimposed by three other arched openings crowned by a semi-dome.[4][5] The total height of the Gate above the pavement is 176 ft. A Persian inscription on eastern archway of the Buland Darwaza records Akbar's conquest of Uttar Pradesh and the victory in Gujarat in 1573. An inscription on the central face of the Buland Darwaza describes Akbar's religious openness.On the main gateway an Islamic inscription written in Persian reads "Isa (Jesus), son of Mary said: 'The world is a Bridge, pass over it, but build no houses upon it. He who hopes for a day may hope for eternity, but the World endures but an hour. Spend it in prayer for the rest is unseen.'" Jesus was advising his followers not to consider the world as a permanent home and hope for worldly things, as human life is of short duration.[6] Verses from the Quran have been carved in the Naskh (script) along the top. These were drawn by Khwaja Hussain Chishti, a disciple of Sheikh Salim Chishti. Thank you visit this beautiful place

It is the biggest and the oldest door in the world. Beautiful architecture and lots of history. It does get a bit crowded but it’s a must see. You do need a guide to see everything. The guide did provide some helpful information and history so it was nice to learn that. The guide also helped us to take some nice pictures. Make sure to bargain with the everyone for the pricing. Also, there are these kids that sell stuff but don’t stop or buy from them. All of them will crowed you really fast. so avoid that. Keep an eye on your stuff. The have buses that go back and forth between the parking lot and this so you will need to take that. Enjoy and be safe

Fatehpur Sikri is in UP . There are lot of tourist destinations in Fatehpur but this one is the most visited place by tourists. Place will be less crowded/somewhat empty early in the morning. Place will be very calm and cool in the morning. Private vehicle should be parked in the parking area and a dedicated bus is available for visiting this place . You can take a guide if you are interested to know the history of the place. If you want to spend time in that place and click pictures I would not recommend you to take a guide. They won’t be giving you time . Guide will come for very less price but they will try to scam you in the middle by asking you purchase chadar (shawl) for offering. Be aware of scams.

Akbar built the Buland Darwaza to commemorate his victory over Gujarat in 1602. The Buland Darwaza, also known as "the gate of grandeur", is the highest gateway in the world and an astounding example of the Mughal architecture. It is made of red sandstone and has inlaying of white and black marble. It is completely free to visit Jama Masjid, which this grand door opens to. Nearby is the Tomb of Salim Chishti (See my earlier post), Diwan-E-Khas, Birbal's House, Tansen playground and Jodha Bais Palace (Ticket Required)

If you love historical places, you should definitely visit Fatehpur Sikri. Best time to visit is the winters.

A wonderfully well preserved historical site Buland Darwaza , or the "Door of victory", was built in 1602 A.D by Mughal emperor Akbar to commemorate his victory over Gujarat. It is the main entrance to the Jama Masjid at Fatehpur Sikri, which is 43 km from Agra, India. Buland Darwaza is the highest gateway in the world and is an example of Mughal architecture. It displays sophistication and heights of technology in Akbar's empire. A must visit place

.Scam to pressure tourists in to giving money. The whole experience was tainted by a non-state-certified random self-claimed 'guide' whom coerced us to give money to charity - however the area is ridden with child beggars which contradicts that entire story. We had to take our shoes off before entering this fort, and forced to pay to have them back (this was not disclosed previosuly). Not wanting to pay this 'charity' or the people holding our shoes and the environment became very hostile. Would NOT recommed this place to visit.

The Visit to Fatehpur Sikri was a wonderful experence. The transfer coaches between the parking to Fatehpur Sikri was well organized. The Guide services was excellent and very informative on historical detailing. The wheelchair services at entrance was an additional delight. The overall experience is great for a traveler visiting with family. The very well maintained historical UNESCO site is so well managed, diligently organized. Great experence, and look forward to the next trip.

I visit Fatehpur Sikri bulnd darwaza visited this palace and the experience was amazing. As I have visited the palace during the winters so enjoyed a lot. The jodha bai palace is nearly about 30 km far from Agra and the ticket price is rupees 50 for entering into the palace. So nearly it take around 2 to 2.5 hours to visit the palace completely. From Agra you can book private taxi or you can take the public taxi from Shahganj Agra. So overall it was a nice experience and near to the palace there is Buland Darwaza the main entrance to the jama masjid at Fatehpur Sikri. So you can enjoy you day by visiting both the places. Thanks

Buland Darwaza is among the UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE Site situated in Fatehpur Sikri, Agra. It's built around the Dargah of Saleem Chishti by Akbar. It doesn't have washroom facilities in the compound but outside towards Jodha Mahal. One must visit the place to witness the grandness of Mughal Architecture and its impact on attracting tourists around the world. Many movies include Shah Rukh Khan's Pardes and were shot here.

Fatehpur Sikri, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a treasure trove of Mughal architectural brilliance, and at its heart lies the magnificent Buland Darwaza. This colossal gateway is an embodiment of grandeur, power, and artistic finesse, making it an integral part of India's rich cultural heritage. In this comprehensive review, we delve into the historical context, architectural intricacies, cultural significance, and the enduring allure of the Buland Darwaza. Commissioned by the great Mughal Emperor Akbar in the late 16th century, Fatehpur Sikri served as his capital city for a brief period. The construction of Buland Darwaza began in 1575 CE, celebrating the victorious conquest of Gujarat. This monumental gateway, meaning "Gate of Magnificence," stands as a testament to Akbar's military prowess and religious tolerance, showcasing a blend of Islamic and Indian architectural styles. Buland Darwaza stands tall at a staggering height of 54 meters, making it one of the tallest gateways in the world. Its imposing structure reflects the Mughal fascination with symmetry and grandiosity, with towering minarets on either side. The facade of the Buland Darwaza is adorned with intricate and delicately carved motifs. Floral patterns, calligraphy, and geometric designs create a mesmerizing visual tapestry that showcases the mastery of Mughal artisans. The gateway beautifully fuses Persian and Indian architectural elements. The predominantly Persian-style pointed arches, embellished with Indian-style chhatris (canopy-like structures), represent the harmony of cultural influences that defined the Mughal era. Above the main arch of the Buland Darwaza, verses from the Quran are inscribed, symbolizing Akbar's commitment to religious tolerance and inclusivity. This inscription reinforces the idea that the Mughal Empire was a confluence of diverse cultures and faiths. The Buland Darwaza holds great spiritual significance for devotees visiting the revered Sufi shrine of Sheikh Salim Chishti, located within the courtyard of Fatehpur Sikri. Pilgrims often pass through the grand gateway, seeking blessings and divine intervention. The Buland Darwaza continues to captivate visitors from across the globe for numerous reasons: Its colossal size, intricate embellishments, and historical importance draw architecture enthusiasts, historians, and photographers alike. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Fatehpur Sikri and the Buland Darwaza stand as living testimonies to India's rich cultural and architectural heritage. The gateway has inspired countless artists, writers, and filmmakers, leaving an indelible mark on Indian culture and creativity. The Buland Darwaza serves as a timeless symbol of victory, reminding us of Akbar's conquests and the Mughal Empire's zenith. The Buland Darwaza at Fatehpur Sikri is a peerless masterpiece of Mughal architecture and a testament to the cultural diversity and historical grandeur of India. Its monumental proportions, intricate detailing, and historical significance make it an essential destination for anyone seeking to explore the rich tapestry of India's past. This awe-inspiring gateway continues to stand tall, beckoning travelers to marvel at its splendor and reflect upon the enduring legacy of the Mughal Empire.

Buland darwaza is one of the most famous historical place in Agra city It was constructed in 1600 and still it looks like as new. Buland Darwaza is a mammoth monument that was built during the times of the Mughal Emperor Akbar. It is a massive gate and is also known to be the highest gate in the world. It is one of the finest examples of Mughal architecture that combines the magnificence of red and also buff sandstone. The Buland Darwaza functions as the main entrance to the mosque and till today stands as a testimony to the victorious rule of Akbar. Many people also call it the 'Gate of Magnificence'.

It's wonderful place

Fantastic architecture and a beautiful place to visit. It's places like these that make you wonder about the capabilities of humans and their vision and perception for creating wonders like these. You would definitely not wanna go to such a photogenic place without a good camera.

Fatehpur and Sikri was initial capital of Akbar’s emperor and later on he shifted to Agra. So all the constructions of fort and mosque is older then Agra fort. This is just 3-4 hours trip, there are more then 20 attractions in both Fatehpur and Sikri. Buland darwaza, Salim chishti mosque, diwan-e-khas, panch mahal and Jodha Bai mahal are main attractions. If you are visiting Agra then this should be in your list.

This is a Mughal architecture which was made by Akbar and when you look at this it’s like how they had build this, it’s so huge. This is a crowded place and inside this darwaza there is Chisti Dargah, mosque and few more things to visit. You have to take off your shoes before entering this place. This place is open and well maintained. You can see the art work of Mughal era on this darwaza. But people spat gutka everywhere and ruining this historical moment. Best time to visit this place is December end to January month.

It is the biggest and highest entry gate I have ever seen . Believe me it's magnificent and are at good height, u can see the whole city from there .

Fatehpur Sikri This small town in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India, is on the world heritage list of UNESCO owing to the 16th century AD group of monuments belonging to emperor Akbar's era. The mughal emperor commissioned this city as a mark of his victory. It remained his capital city for about a decade but was abandoned due to shortage of water. Though the place is portrayed as belonging to the Akbar era, it actually existed as a prominent place much before that. They say that it was in the limelight since the 7th century AD. Today the archeological site is well maintained by the ASI. It is a worthy tourist attraction, very easily accessible by road. It sits right on the Jaipur Agra highway. One can cover the monuments in less than two hours. If you are a photographer you may add another hour to your schedule. Buland Darwaza - the iconic high gate, is a magnificent structure and a masterpiece of mughal architecture. Unfortunately local people don't seem to be respecting the monument. People sitting idle on the steps chewing tobacco and spitting all over is a disgusting sight. Also, goats roam free at the gate. Graffiti on the walls of monuments is another menace in India and this place was no exception. Such sights at tourist places reflect on our country’s tourism profile. High time Indian tourism ministry paid attention to such things.

the "Ghost city" came out to be so mesmerizing when visited. Especially the Buland Darwaja will awestruck u with its majestic size and architect. its the main entrance to the huge, square premises of Jama Mosque. it have another 3 gates, among them kings gate is also functional. inside the mosque there is salim chisthi's dargah and tomb of islam khan too. whole area is made in red stone and the intricate floral inlay work with white stone can be seen. dargah is totally made in white marble. its an another level of vibes u feel here. u find urself so tiny against this massive monument. few thing to keep in mind- - its an hour journey from Agra by taxi so minimum half a day is needed to know this place. - early morning is the best time to explore. shoes r not allowed inside so in day time stone floor become so hot until its winter. - there will be many unauthorized guides pestering on u as u step down from taxi. be aware of the, most of them r fake. - A guide is a must here to explore it right . - people selling tiny craft items and souvenir inside the mosque, dont fall in their trap. - entry fee is just 50/- per person - once u visit this area u can go to jodha bai mahal by shuttle . it will save u lot of time. - its a UNESCO site n our indian heritage. pls help maintain this place clean by doing ur part.

Door of Victory was built in 1575  by mugal emperor Akbar to commemorate his victory over Gujrat. It is the main entrance to the jama Masjid at Fatehpur Sikri , which is 43 km from Agra Uttar Pradesh.

During my visit to Fatehpur Sikri visited this place and it was a wonderful experience. As I have visited the place during winters and on public holiday so there was a lot of rush but enjoyed a lot. As there you will find the guides who will let you know about the place so it's better if you book them so that you will get to know about the place. As Buland Darwaza was constructed by Akbar after the victory over Gujarat and also it is the highest gateway in the world and an example of Mughal Architecture. The tomb of Shaikh Salim Chisti is also there and people came here and make the wish. So overall a great place having finest Mughal era construction and one can see if they want to explore India.

The Buland Darwaza is made of red and buff sandstone, decorated by white and black marble and is higher than the courtyard of the mosque. The Buland Darwaza is symmetrical and is topped by large free-standing kiosks, which are the chhatris. It also has terrace edge gallery kiosks on the roof, stylised buckler-battlements, small minor-spires, and inlay work with white and black marble. On the outside, a long flight of steps sweeps down the hill giving the gateway additional height. It is 40 meters high and 51 meters from the ground. The total height of the structure is about 54 meters from the ground level. It is a 15-storied high gateway acting as the southern entrance of the city of Fatehpur Sikri. The approach to the gate consists of 42 steps. It is semi-octagonal in plan with two smaller triple-storeyed wings on either side,it has three kiosks on its top surrounded by thirteen smaller domed kiosks.

Buland Darwaza (gate) to this fort is great. It must have taken lot of effort to make this amazing red sandstone structure. Once in Fetepur Sikri, you will not miss to see this structure as everything is in the same surrounding. It is a huge gate- Buland Darwaza is the highest gateway in the world and is an example of Mughal architecture.

Hii...This Buland Darwaja is a part of fatehpursikri. It is made by Akbar and Jhodhabai and other palace is a part of fatehpur sikri. There are two parts of this entire monument and each one has separate own stories and significance. Buland darwaja is the biggest darwaja of india ever made. Here inside this monument ticket fee is 45 rs including ada tax which is bought online. Here many guides are there but after bargaining they will agree with very less money approx. 100rs for entire family. Inside buland darwaja there will be no need of Guide.Thank you...🙂

buland darwaza is was made in 1602 AD by mughal emeprior Akbar. t is 40 metres high and 54 metres from the ground and its Heighest gateway in the world. It is the main entrance of the Jama Maszid. The tomb of salim chishti is also located in one part of Jama maszid and facing south towards Buland Darwaza, within the quadrangle of the Jama Masjid.

Nice place to visit and see the tunnel used to escape anarkali from Fatehpur to Agra and Agra to Delhi and finally Delhi to lahaure.although the tunnel has been closed to due to dammage.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place (Original) बहुत सुंदर जगह है

Buland Darwaza •It is situated in Fatehpur Sikri which is one hour drive from Agra. •Takes you back to Mughal architecture which is one of the UNESCO'S WORLD HERITAGE SITE. •It is adjacent to Jodha Mahal from where the shuttle bus service is provided until Buland Darwaza for Rs 30 per head for the round trip. •Tomb of Salim Chisti is within the Jama Masjid only. •Do not fall for people taking photographs, they are overpriced and they have some tie up with the guides over there. • You can easily find a guide for Rs 400- Rs 500 for both Jodha Mahal as well as Buland Darwaza, though for foreigners it will be expensive.

One of the best examples of Indian history, you should go here at least once in your life to learn more about the glorious past of India. However, be on the lookout for con artists; there are many who pose as guides but in reality are only after your money. Try to store your shoes in your vehicle to avoid being charged, as the personnel is not corporate.

An amazing work of architecture. A huge entrance meant for common people who visits the Bradshah or their ministers. The design is beautiful and the arch is amazing. Red sandstone is used as the material. The grand scale of construction is amazing to look at.

Mughal Emperor Akbar built Buland Darwaza to mark his victory over Gujrat. Tallest Gate. It is in front of Dargah of Sufi saint Salim Chisti

Place is worth visiting but local vendors and guides are stubborn they force you to consider their service or buy their product. Local guides also keep coming behind you until and unless you consider their service. I think it's a problem at many tourist place in India.

Good place to visit, with good architecture with talks about the artistic ability of the country. But the place is very messy, with small children being used to beg for money. The product sellers are also very iriitating. It is must to seek a gouide, otherwise the visit will be a like a person reading a book without knowing the language.

It's a great place to visit. Stay away from those who claim to be guide. They will charge you a lot. Don't give them more then 30 rupees if you truly need a guide.

Buland Darwaza the door of victory was built in 1602 A.D.by Mughal emperor Akbar to commemorate his victory over Gujarat. It is the main entrance to the Jama Masjid at Fatehpur Sikri, which is 43 km from Agra, India.Buland Darwaza is the highest gateway in the world and is an example of Mughal architecture. It displays sophistication and heights of technology in Akbar's empire

Its a beauty to watch in person and get aww struck. This is one place which we should visit at-least once and enjoy the shear size and beauty of it.This place is really hard to describe in words. This place is something the without ultra-wide camera can't be captured in one frame. The shear size is 40 meters high and 51 meters from the ground. The total height of the structure is about 54 meters from the ground level. It is a 15-storied high gateway acting as the southern entrance of the city of Fatehpur Sikri. The approach to the gate consists of 42 steps. I visited this place unfortunately during peak summer season but this place is marvellous.

This is Gaint structure at Fatehpur sikri area, which is almost 200 to 250 feet higher from ground level. There is no entry ticket for this place. A good place to know about Akbar's life with Jodha bai and Jhangir's birth. People here loot public in the name of guide and charge 200₹ or more than that. Better to pay only 100₹ for guide.

Buland Darwaza was built in 1575 A.D. by Akbar. Buland Darwaza is the highest gateway in the world and is an example of Mughal architecture. The Buland Darwaza is made of red and buff sandstone, decorated by white and black marble and is higher than the courtyard of the mosque. The Buland Darwaza is symmetrical and is topped by large free-standing kiosks, which are the chhatris.

To think this was built almost 500 years ago its just mind blowing. The finesse and touch to details without modern equipment and technology is just something of wonder. Make sure to get a kind guide and who will not rush you around and explain things in details. There is much history to be heard and take your time. Enjoy.

The historical richness of the place, coupled with its stunning architecture, left me in awe. Exploring the intricately designed structures and learning about the cultural significance added a whole new layer to my understanding of the region's history. The atmosphere was captivating, and the guides did a fantastic job of bringing the stories to life. Definitely a must-visit for anyone interested in immersing themselves in the beauty and history of Sikri!

There is no need to buy any tickets. And the place is not really beautiful as people have hyped it. All you get to see is lots of tomb of salim and lots of more people all in line. And in the starting is the big main entrance called buland darwaja. And there is a masjid inside and a pond which is ill maintained and is all dirty people just wash their feet hands and some even their mouth and face. It got on my nerves seeing people using those dirty pond water. personally I did not like the place and People will irritate you for hiring a guide, for buying flowers and chadar for the masjid and we met a guy who even tried to threaten us for buying flowers and keeping him as a guide and keeping our shoes in his shop. I found that behaviour offensive. Also we did not found any good mode of transport for visiting the place. We had to change 3 times from agra to fatehpur sikri and it was hectic. I usually dont give so less rating to any place. But after travelling so many places I found it worst

Good

The place is so majestic, once you climb up those stairs (52 if I am not wrong) make sure you turn around and see the majestic view of the skyline of the city. Imagine being a king and standing infront of Buland Darwaza and gazing at your territory with pride. That's the rulers must've felt at that time

Nice time capsule architecture

Amazing!

Awesome please for visitors as well as couples

Overcrowded, the tour-guides spoiled the trip

Nice

Great place

It takes atleast 2-3 hours to thoroughly explore the place.

Great experience at this place...but the natives have completely destroyed the aura of this monument...one time go is good

J

Good place but could be better maintain if taken over by ASI Waqf board is not doing the good job

A prefect example of Mughal impression. It's really very high and shows the greatness of Mughal empire. Never seen such a tall entrance at any place. A place to have a look

Highest Gateway in the world is Buland Darwaza. Neat to govt Bus Stand but have to walk just 500 Meters. It's free but after that if you go to Mahal of Akbar then ticket should be there.
