The palace, located at about to the west of Ajmeri Gate of the dargah of Khwaja Kaki has an imposing gate. It was built in 1842 by Akbar Shah II. Built as a three-storied structure in red sandstone embellished with marble, it is around wide with a gate opening called the Hathi gate (built to allow full decorated elephants with the howdah to pass through) is of opening at the entrance. An inscription on the main arch credits building of the gate (as an entry gate to the existing Mahal) by Bahadur Shah II in the eleventh year of his accession as Emperor in 1847-48 AD. A broad Chhajja (cantilevered projection) built in the Mughal style is a striking feature of the arch. At the entrance gate, the logo has small projecting windows flanked by curved and covered Bengali domes. On both sides of the arch, two ornate medallions in the form of large lotuses have been provided. The gateway also depicts a classic tripolia or three-arch opening into the "baaraadaree" or 12 opening structure, which fully draws the breeze. In the top floor of the palace, there is multi chambered "dalan" (arcade room with one open side overlooking a courtyard),which has terrace on the palace side and with a view of the entrance at the other end.
