Bala Hissar Gate

This is the main entrance to the fort on the east. It has a pointed arch bordered by rows of scrollwork. The spandrels have yalis and decorated roundels. The space above the door has peacocks with ornate tails flanking an ornamental arched niche. The granite block lintel below has sculpted yalis flanking a disc.
