Maharaja Narendra Singh (1845 - 1862) fortified the city of Patiala by constructing ramparts and ten gates around the city.
It is one of the ten gate gates.
The gates were built keeping in mind the rich culture and tradition of those times.
Guru Granth Sahib was installed in all the gates with “path” being held at scheduled times.
However, this practice has been discontinued.
In history there are gates made to pass to the city, travelers from SIRHIND town used to come from this gate.
The temperature ranges from 30°C to 43°C in the months of April to June. The best season to visit Patiala is the winter season. The temperature remains comfortable and is apt for sightseeing. The best months to visit are October, November, December, January, and February.
