Darwaza-i-rauza is one of the components of the Taj Mahal complex, with the mausoleum, the mosque and the guest pavilion. It is the gateway to the gardens which, symbolically, represents Paradise. It is also called the "Great Gate". In practice Darwaza-i-rauza is a rectangular building of 41.20 x 34 m and 23m high. It is of great symmetry, crossed by two axes East-West and North-South. Externally it looks a little like a defensive building because it is flanked at each corner of an octagonal turret, narrow turrets, slender and ending above the roof by chhatris.
