Tripolia Gate

Tripolia Gate is a Mugal-era entrance gate in Ajmer district with a tall archway and a pillared hall attached to its left side. The structure stands in rocky terrain surrounded by hills and is maintained today by the Archaeological Survey of India.

Emperor Akbar ordered the construction of this gate in 1570 as part of architectural developments during the expansion of Mogul influence in the Ajmer region. It represents a key moment in the building history of this area.

The gate displays Islamic architectural features from the Mugul period with detailed stone carvings showing the craftsmanship of that time. Its design reflects the artistic traditions that flourished in this region during Mogul rule.

The gate is open to visitors year-round with no entrance fee required for access. There is no shade or shelter near the site, so it is better to visit during the cooler parts of the day.

The left section of the gate contains a space that once served as a monitoring post where guards watched the Taragarh Hill route. This often-overlooked area shows the practical security function the structure once held.
