| Majevadi Gate in Junagadh in Gujarat |
Directions to the same are tagged on google maps.
This is another monument which we located when travelling to
Najubibi Makbara and Mazarat of Barashahid.

Not much is known about the history of the monument. We
asked a couple of locals around, all they told us that it is a gate to enter
the city premises.
Majevadi Gate was under renovation when we entered through it.
It had beige colored fort wall which is around a storey tall, not sure if the
same has been reconstructed, it also had a bastion near it.
The Majevadi Gate, had a wooden door with nails on them, I
guess it was used to hold back the elephants when they forcefully tried to
enter the city premises. The structure had Majevadi Gate written atop it. It
also had a jarokha (balcony) atop the Main Door. Not sure what it was used for?

I am just hoping that after the renovation, they don't
change the color to beige like they did
for the walls and bastion attached to this gate.
We were not able to find a way up to reach the Jarokha.

The way the Gate was designed was truly amazing.
All private bus operators plying to different cities in
India, depart from here, The bus we were supposed to board for Mumbai, was to
depart from here.
