One of the many secret entrances (Chor Darwaaza - चोर दरवाजा). This one is on the western ramparts of the fort. In the event of the enemy succeeding in penetrating the fort's defence, the defenders of the fort could use this secret entrance to move out of the fort and flank the enemy from behind to mount a surprise attack. A classic example of the foresight and macro-micro planning that went into fort architecture.
