The gateway is a three-bay deep structure featuring pointed arches and constructed using traditional Lakhori bricks. It is roofed with a vaulted ceiling supported by wooden rafters. An additional upper story appears to have been added at a later stage and is currently being used for residential purposes. The architectural style of the gateway is distinctly Mughal, characterized by its materials and form. The structure is primarily built using Lakhori brick, with plaster and sandstone elements. While no significant historical information is available about the gateway, it serves as an entrance to a large residential and commercial street. There are no known local or traditional descriptions associated with this built heritage site.
