 During the Mughalera, 4 gates were constructed in Ajmer by the Mughal Emperor Akbar almost 448 years ago. Each of these arched gates were 25 to 30 metres in height and were built from 1570-72 AD. Akbar built these monuments in Ajmer because here it housed the dargah of the famous Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti.
Emperor Akbar built these gates big enough for an elephant to pass through, these gates were shut after sunset for all travellers during Akbar’s regime and thereafter. The Tripolia Gate was built in 1570 AD in the west sector of Ajmer for going up the Taragarh Hill. The word tripolia means three, the gate was built as the actual main entrance to the City Palace and the Jantar Mantar with three huge archways. In the City Palace, the Tripolia gate is reserved for entry into the palace by the royal family. Common people and visitors can enter the palace complex only through the Virendra Pol. The city itself has three main entrances called the Delhi Gate, the Tripolia Gate, and the Nakash Gate. The three palaces within the fort, which are particularly exquisite, are the Hadi Rani Mahal, the Sheesh Mahal and the Badal Mahal, which are noted for their beautiful frescoes. Nearby is the tallest structure in Jaipur --Iswari Minar Swarga Sal, the heaven piercing minaret. It serves as an excellent reference point to the location. It is possible to climb to the top of the tower and get a breathtaking view over the Old City.
The nearest airport is the Jaipur Airport and the closest station is the Jaipur junction railway station.
