Lohiya Gate - Historical landmark in Bharatpur - Bharatpur, India

This is one of the main entrance to the fort. Very well fortified surrounded by a big moat, the fort was impregnable. Surajmal, the great warrior, is honoured inside the fort by installing his statue.

It's a Part of Lohagarh Fort The main entrance to this grand fort is the Ashtadhatu Gate. Ashtadhatu means 'eight metals', for the spikes on this edifice are made of eight different metals. This north-facing imposing gateway with huge rounded bastions and paintings of war elephants carries a unique history. Originally it used to be the gate of the Chittorgarh Fort in Rajasthan. From there it was carried to Delhi by Sultan Alauddin Khilji who plundered the Rajput city in the late 13th century.

It was constructed by Bharatpur Hindu rulers. Maharaja Suraj Mal used all his power and wealth to a good cause, and built numerous forts and palaces across his kingdom, one of them being the Lohagarh Fort (Iron fort), which was one of the strongest ever built in Indian history. The inaccessible Lohagarh fort could withstand repeated attacks of British forces led by Lord Lake in 1805 when they laid siege for over six weeks. Of the two gates in the fort, one in the north is known as Ashtdhaatu (eight metalled) gate while the one facing the south is called Chowburja (four-pillared) gate.
