| Description of Building/ Structure/Site
इमारत/संरचना/स्थल का विवरण |
This is apparently one of two entrance gateways leading to the Nagri town. The square gateway is of fairly decorative quality and about 20ft high. The gateway is double faced with cusp-arches on both faces. The gate is inserted with a thick wooden door which is lost and the huge wooden frame of the door remains. The brickwork radiates from the centre of the arch all around the face of the gateway. There is a square tile-work band surrounding the arched opening of the gate. The sides of the arched opening are adorned by decorative brick pilasters. |
