The first and the main gate of the Chanderi Fort is called the 'Khooni Darwaza'. It is so named because the criminals were thrown from the battlements above and their bodies crashed below. This gate of the fort was once known for its' grandeur but as it was attacked and destroyed by Babur, it lost its' glory followed by many massacres leading to the defeat of Chanderi.
