The gateway is a three-bay deep structure featuring pointed arches and is constructed using traditional Lakhori bricks. It is roofed with a vaulted ceiling supported by wooden rafters, showcasing elements of Mughal architectural style. Although there is no significant historical information available about the gateway, it is known to lead to a large residential-cum-commercial street. The upper storey appears to be a recent addition and is currently being used for residential purposes. The building is primarily made of Lakhori bricks, with plaster and sandstone used as additional materials. No local or traditional description is associated with this built heritage site.
