How To Reach Garh Darwaja
Bishnupur, West Bengal, India
Garh Darwaja, often referred to as the Chota Patthar Darwaja, is the smaller sibling of the Big Stone Gateway. Despite its smaller size, it holds equal historical importance as part of the intricate defense system of Bishnupur. Built by the Malla kings, this gateway served as a secondary entry poin t into the inner citadel. It is constructed from a combination of laterite stone and brick, showcasing the transition in building materials during the Malla era. The gateway is situated just a short distance from the larger gate, and together they formed a formidable "double-gate" defense system. If an enemy managed to breach the first gate, they would be trapped in the space between the two, where they could be easily targeted by soldiers stationed on the walls. The Garh Darwaja features a beautiful arched opening and remains in a relatively good state of preservation. The structure is simpler in design compared to the temples, emphasizing utility and strength. It is surrounded by high earthen mounds which were actually part of the original fort walls. Today, the area is peaceful, and the gateway serves as a picturesque reminder of the town's military past. It is an essential stop for anyone exploring the "Garh" (Fort) area of Bishnupur. The reddish laterite stone used in its construction is synonymous with the soil of Bankura, making the structure feel like a natural extension of the earth. Visitors can see the slots for heavy wooden doors that once barred entry to the city. The gate also provides access to the path leading toward the Madan Mohan Temple, making it a strategic point in the tourist circuit.
