Bhadkal Gate, State protected gate in Sambhajinagar district, India.

The Bhadkal Gate stands as the largest entrance structure in Aurangabad, featuring traditional architectural elements and stone craftsmanship throughout its grand frame.

Malik Ambar, the vizier of Murtaza Nizamshah, ordered the construction of this gate in 1612 to mark a military victory against Mughal forces.

The gate represents a significant period in Maharashtra's architectural development, incorporating regional design elements that influenced subsequent building practices in the area.

Visitors can access the gate through local transportation services from central Aurangabad, with guided tours available during daylight hours throughout the year.

This structure holds the distinction of being India's first column-based building, setting a precedent for architectural innovation in the region.
