It is located at Chandni Chowk in Delhi encircled by a beautiful park that is one of the tourist attraction. It was named Ajmeri Gate based on the fact being a gateway to Ajmer city [Rajasthan]. Presently, there are only 4 gateways left in Delhi - Ajmeri Gate, Lahori Gate, Mori Gate, and Kashmere Gate. For commercial purpose, most of the walls of the Ajmeri Gate has been demolished; though, the west gate is still upright. The area is suuroun by Kamla Market, Old Delhi, Bazar Sita Ram, and Loni. The gate is now fenced off and sits in the middle of a busy road junction, much of it hidden by stalls and traffic, although the best views are from the north.
