The Lakhchhipi Darwaza, also known as the Lukochuri Gate, is a magnificent architectural masterpiece located southeast of the historic Kadam Rasool Mosque in Malda, West Bengal. According to historical accounts, it was built in 1655 by Shah Shuja in the grand Mughal style. The name of the gate is said to have originated from the royal game of hide-and-seek that the Sultan used to play with his begums. However, some historians believe that it was built by Allauddin Hussein Shah in 1522. This double-storeyed Darwaza is situated on the eastern side of the royal palace and served as the main entrance to the palace. The unique architectural style of the gate makes it a must-visit for anyone interested in history and architecture.

Also known as Gumati Darwaza. An imitation of the Alai Darwaza and built using tiles, the Lukochuri Darwaza is considered as a forerunner of the Tomb of Iltutmish of the Delhi Sultanate.

Gour is previously the capital of Sultanate of Bengal which is fortified all around with high boundaries and gates where guards are installed to protect the city. Most of this fortification destroyed in due run. But some its entrance gates are still standing and speaking the historic tales of their time.
