The large, imposing gateway has been much altered. Originally it was one of the two entrances to the Haveli with cusped arch openings. Shops have been opened on both sides and these about the central pathway. Two beautiful jharokhas supported on stone brackets on the upper floor are the only original elements still visible. The gateway once carried a laudatory quotation of Ghalib. |
