To make your way into the fort is quite a long walk, first along a gradual slope and then becoming more steep.
The door from the archway shown above.
Part
of one of the inner walls of the fort.
This
archway was in the third ring of walls. Note how there is a wall right
behind the opening, so invaders would have rushed in and been impeded by the
wall and vulnerable from defenders above. The route actually takes a turn
to the right.
The
elephant carving was to the left of the arch above.
Just
inside the gateway was this alcove, with a water storage pot set into it.
This would have been for guards defending the gate.
