Chand Pol or the Moon Gate was the main
gate of entry for the commoners.
The upper storey of the gate is called the
"Naubatkhana". lt housed the kettle drums and other
musical instruments. "Naubat" was a type of music which
had its own specific protocol that had to be strictly
followed when it was played with. The listeners were
expected to remain silent. It is believed that the
tradition of playing the naubat dates back to the time
of Alexender the Great.
