The ‘Gumti Darwaza’ is a single domed, relatively smaller gate at the eastern side of the fort. It comprises of enamelled bricks, constructed during the Afghan rule in 1512 AD by Sultan Allauddin Hussain Shah. Originally it served as the entrance to the mausoleum of Chamkan, later being opened for generic use. It is believed that kilos of pure gold brought form Middle East were used to decorate this gate, but right now only remnants of the glazed bricks could be seen.
