Sanganeri Gate

Sanganeri Gate is a historic southern gateway to the walled Pink City of Jaipur, Rajasthan, located at the southern end of Johari Bazaar on Tonk Road. Built in 1727 as part of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II's planned city, it is one of the seven original gates of Jaipur. Notable for its pink facade, arched passage and connection to the route toward Sanganer town, it remains a busy thoroughfare and landmark within the UNESCO World Heritage walled city.

Visitors can expect a large pink-painted arched gateway with traditional Rajasthani architectural detailing, set within the bustling walled city. The gate straddles a busy road with continuous vehicular and pedestrian traffic, flanked by shops and markets of Johari Bazaar. Visitors can view the exterior facade, walk through the archway, photograph the structure, and explore the surrounding bazaar area with shops selling jewelry, textiles and handicrafts.

Built in 1727 under Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as part of the planned walled city of Jaipur, Sanganeri Gate was one of the seven original gates providing entry through the fortified city walls. It served as the southern gateway leading towards the town of Sanganer and formed an integral part of the city's defense and urban planning, which later contributed to Jaipur's inscription as a UNESCO World Heritage Walled City.

The gate is an iconic element of Jaipur's Pink City identity and marks the southern terminus of Johari Bazaar, a traditional market known for jewelry, gemstones and textiles. It reflects the city's historic urban design and continues to function as a cultural and commercial threshold between the old walled city and the southern expansion of Jaipur.
