Dakhil Darwaza, National heritage gate in Badulyabari, India

The Dakhil Darwaza features four corner towers reaching five stories high, with a central passage measuring 4.5 meters in width and spacious guardrooms.

Built in 1425 during the reign of Ala-ud-din-Hussain Shah, this entrance gate served as the main access point to the citadel of Lakhnauti.

The architecture incorporates Indo-Islamic elements through terracotta construction, with rosettes adorning the spandrels and traditional Sultanate ornamentation throughout the structure.

Visitors can access the monument daily between 9 AM and 6 PM through the English Bazar community development block in West Bengal.

The structure stands 21 meters tall and 34.5 meters wide, making it one of the largest brick-built gates in the region.
