This gateway is one of the very few remaining entrances to a Kuncha (a traditional residential lane or courtyard) and serves as the entrance to Kuncha Chaudhary. There is no significant local or traditional information available about the gateway, other than its function as an entrance. Architecturally, it follows the Mughal style. The structure is a massive, two-bayed gateway featuring three pointed arch entrances. The roofs of all bays are made of sandstone laid over wooden panels and supported by iron girders. The exterior of the entrance is painted pink, while the remaining parts are whitewashed. The gateway is constructed using Lakhori brick masonry, finished with plaster.
