During the medieval period, Bikaner City was also covered by a protecting wall, like other cities of Rajasthan. Kote Gate is the heritage entrance gate to the old Bikaner City.
It is a credit to its solid architecture that even after 500 years and heavy modern traffic everyday, Kote Gate stands tall with the same majesty in yester-years. Built during the reign of Raja Ganga Singh, the word Kote Gate is taken from the word "Parkota" (meaning "wall of the City for its protection"). Now it is a busy junction with the main shopping area of the city of Bikaner all around it. Kote Gate is a famous tourist attraction in the city. It overlooks the famous shopping markets.
It is an entry point between the Old City of Bikaner and the new city overlooking the attractive havelis, which are hung mansions with intricate architecture.
