Alamgiri Gate, Fort entrance gate in Lahore, Pakistan.
The Alamgiri Gate features two circular defensive towers adorned with lotus petal motifs at their bases and small pavilions at the top.
Emperor Aurangzeb commissioned the construction of this monumental gate in 1674 as the western entrance to the Lahore Fort complex.
The gate design combines Indian, Islamic, and European architectural elements, reflecting the multicultural influences of the Mughal period in South Asia.
The gate leads directly to the Diwan-i-Amm courtyard, where the Mughal Museum, Armoury Gallery, and Sikh Museum display regional artifacts.
The dimensions of this gate allowed royal elephants to pass through, demonstrating the scale of Mughal ceremonial processions during imperial times.
