Patrika Gate derives its name from newspaper and media company-Rajasthan Patrika. It was built by Rajasthan Patrika in association with JDA- Jaipur Development Authority. The gate is built on Jawahar Circle near Sanganer International Airport, the southern end of JLN Marg which connects Ramniwas Garden on the north side and Jaipur International Airport on the Southern end. Here is a picture of the Patrika Gate when it was built in 2016; it wasn’t open to the public then. The project was supervised by Raghunath Singh from Rajasthan Patrika team.Patrika Gate was formally inaugurated virtually by Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi on 08 September 2020 even though it was thrown open to the public much earlier.


It is being claimed like the walled city, numeral nine plays a critical part in the making of the Patrika Gate. There is a total of nine pavilions. Each pavilion is 9 feet wide. The width of the gate is 81 feet and height 108 feet which coincides with the width of principal markets in the walled city. Some experts claim it to be 111 feet and not 108 feet. Patrika Gate is being touted as the ninth gate of Jaipur.
