Lahore Gate, Gate building at Red Fort, India

The Lahore Gate stands as the main western entrance of Red Fort, featuring three stories with square, rectangular, and cusped arched panels across its facade.

Emperor Aurangzeb modified the gate during his reign from 1658 to 1707 by adding a 10.5-meter high protective barrier, altering its original design.

Each year on Independence Day, the Prime Minister of India addresses the nation and raises the national flag from the ramparts of Lahore Gate.

The gate incorporates modern amenities including an elevator system and security measures, with restricted access to certain areas for safety purposes.

Between the two octagonal pavilions that crown the gate, seven miniature marble domes sit atop small decorative structures called chhatris.
