Our nation is home to numerous historically significant entrances, ranging from Mumbai's Gateway of India to Delhi's India Gate.

These are a few of the nation's most well-known historical gates that everyone should see at least once in their lifetime.

The Gateway Of India

One of the most famous buildings in the nation is the Gateway of India in Mumbai, which has a view of the Arabian Sea.

The first British monarchs to visit India, King Emperor George V and Queen Empress Mary, were honoured by the construction of this monument in the early 1900s.

Buland Darwaza

The "Door of Victory" refers to Buland Darwaza, which is the entryway to the Jama Masjid at Fatehpur Sikri.

The tallest doorway in the world, standing at fifteen stories. Akbar, the Mughal emperor, built it to honour his victory over Gujarat.

India Gate

India Gate is a war memorial located in Delhi, near to the Rajpath.

In honour of the 70,000 troops who lost their lives in the First World War between 1914 and 1921, the memorial was erected.

The Bhadal Gate

The Bhadkal Gate in Aurangabad, Maharashtra is also known as the "Victory Gate" because it was constructed to celebrate the defeat of the Mughals.

The largest gate in Aurangabad, Bhadkal Gate is notable for its distinctive architectural design as the country's first column-structured construction.
