76[172] Watchtower


There are three watchtowers in this enclosure. One to the North is square on plan, while the one located in the south is octagonal. A flight of steps leads to the top of these towers. Though these are described as watchtowers, they were nevertheless used by the women-folk to get an excellent view of the surrounding places. This can be inferred from the fact that the lower row of windows in the octagonal tower is half covered. These watch towers are another example of Indo-Islamic architecture.
