The place is very neglected .... Inside the place you will found thousands of bats roaming over your head.... The beauty is getting demolished day by day by us.

Dakhil Darwaza is an astounding tourist spot. A colossal structure of bygone days has the charm and aura to mesmerize any visitor at this ancient city, named Gauda. Sturdy and magnificent, one can easily detect the minute floral decorations over this archeological site. However, on my opinion, more maintenance is required. The iron made front gate is already in a deplorable condition. Dearth of Information and guidance for the new visitors are prominent. An Information Centre can be set up for all the connoisseurs of history. Government should take initiatives for the arrangement of wash rooms.
Dakhil Darwaza literally an entrance gate, (Ar. dakhil, Per. darwaza), is the largest structure of its kind in the architectural history of Sultanate Bengal. It was the main entrance to the citadel of lakhnauti, the Muslim name of gaur (per. Gawr). The gateway was the most solid and most elegant entrance portal ever erected in Bengal. The suggestion that it was erected by Sultan nasiruddin mahmud shah (1435-59 AD) at the time of the building of his citadel seems untenable. When the gateway of gunmant mosque, the city congressional mosque of the time of the restored Iliyas Shahis, could not be built to ensure that it could be reasonably time-enduring, how could such a strong and balanced structure like the Dakhil Darwaza be built at that timeFoodgrain We do not have a similar example even in pandua where the largest congressional mosque in Bengal was erected by the second Iliyas Shahi ruler, who is widely acknowledged to be the first great builder amongst the independent rulers of Bengal. Hence the probability is that Alauddin husain shah, who was also the builder of the bara sona mosque, built the present gateway. The majesty of both the architectural pieces bring them at par in point of time. It is likely that the present gateway was s substitution of a weaker gateway built by Nasiruddin Mahmud Shah at the time of the erection of the citadel. Because of their weak construction similar inner gateways named Chand Darwaza and Nim Darwaza had vanished.
This impressive gateway formed the northern entrance to the then fort of Gour. It is made of small red bricks and terracotta work. The area is surrounded by a beautiful garden having a well maintained grass lawn.Monument that reminds us of our country's rich heritage. Nice place for short outing with family and friends.
Its a very beautiful historical place and nostalgic too.
Love the rustic colour of the encient architecture.
Nice place to visit and to be a spectator of the architecture of the building.
It's a great creation... So beautiful
