About Buland Darwaza

One of the exceptional examples of Islamic design, this semi-octagonal Darwaza towers, displaying the glory of Akbar’s reign and it is one of the historical places in Ajmer.

The central chamber under the dome covering it rises out to the court of the mosque – yet another striking architectural beauty.
