01 — The story

Bhadkal Gate is a gateway in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, and the largest of the city's gates. Malik Ambar, vizier to Murtaza Nizam Shah of Ahmadnagar, had it put up to celebrate his win against the Mughals in 1612, and for that reason it is also called the Victory Gate.

The gate is included in the list of State Protected Monuments of Maharashtra compiled by the Archaeological Survey of India.
