Delhi Gate, Southern gate in Shahjahanabad, Delhi, India.
The Delhi Gate features high arched openings and thick walls constructed from red sandstone at the end of Netaji Subhash Chandra Road.
Emperor Shah Jahan constructed this gate in 1638 as part of the defensive fortifications surrounding Shahjahanabad, connecting Old Delhi with New Delhi.
Two stone elephant carvings stand near the entrance, representing the architectural elements of Mughal design prevalent during the seventeenth century.
The gate connects major thoroughfares between Old and New Delhi, with numerous markets and food establishments located in the surrounding Daryaganj area.
The structure served as the emperor's primary route to access Jama Masjid for prayers, marking its significance in the daily life of Mughal rulers.
