Soaring impressively to a height of 40 meters or 175 feet, Buland Darwaza is approached by a flight of steps sweeping down the hill giving the gateway additional height. This stunning structure, built in red sandstone with embellishments in white marble, echoes early Mughal design. It is the most Islamic structure in Buland Darwaza and has inscriptions from the Quran on its front and pillars and chattris on its height. The inscription is not only famous for its calligraphy, but also testifies Akbar's religious broad-mindedness.
