This building is most likely one of the gateways of the Bagh-i-Nazir, constructed during the reign of Muhammad Shah (1719–1748). It is designed in the Mughal architectural style and features a pointed arch with a smaller arched opening above it, topped by a vaulted roof. The facade is particularly striking, faced with red sandstone inlaid with traces of flawless white marble. On the upper floor, there are beautiful jharokha-style openings flanking the main arch, while the lower level contains arched recesses. The structure is built using locally dressed stone masonry, along with white marble and red sandstone. There is no known local or traditional description associated with this heritage structure.
