Fortified Gateway
Metal-clad wooden door in the fortified entrance to the upper part of Kuchaman Fort.
This is a strongly defended entrance. The narrow road does an immediate 90-degree turn to the left, then a sharp 180-degree turn to the right and a sharp 90-degree turn to the left before emerging from the other side of the gateway. All the way, the road can be fired on from balconies and niches up above.
