InscriptionPrinted in English '13. THE KOOTUB-Gateway on the south side.' ' This is an enlarged view of the doorway of the gate shown in the preceding plate. It combines a certain amount of Hindoo ornament with Arabic inscriptions, but the pure Saracenic was at this period fast superseding the Indian elements of design. It appears to have been built about the same time as the wings of the fa ade in the outer enclosure.' l.c.on mount
