Tripolia Gate

Tripolia Gate is an important landmark of Tripolia Bazar apart from Sargasuli. Tripolia Bazar gets its name from this gate. It is one of two important gates of Jaipur City Palace – the royal abode and is on its southern edge. This gate derives its name from its three Pols. All important ancient city gates of Jaipur have three different Pols. They are joined together with the center Pol being the biggest of the three. In this particular design, the Pols are part of a single structure. The smaller Pols are more of a decorative element. Tripolia Gate is not open to the public. It is exclusively used by the members of the royal family. All royal processions would pass from Tripolia Bazar, a tradition that continues to date. Processions of the local festivals like Teej and Gangaur need a special mention. This gate leads to the Chandni Chowk of Jaipur City Palace on one side and Chaura Rasta on the other side. Chandni Chowk has a couple of heritage temples like Pratapeshwar Temple, Brijnidhi Temple, and Anand Bihari Temple. Continuing further is the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site Jantar Mantar and the main entrance to the City Palace. Chaura Rasta is another important bazaar in the walled city area of Jaipur. In comparison to Sirehdyodi entrance, Tripolia Gate is much smaller of the two but its importance weighs the scale in its favor. On the flip side, visitors are not allowed to pass through this gate.

A huge gateway believed to have been constructed by Akbar towards the middle of the second half of the 16th century.
It is the highlight of the Tripolia bazaar, one of the four local markets in the walled city of Jaipur, where authentic goods, far more authentic than those found in Government emporia, are available.
It is particularly beautiful at night when the whole market is lit up.
