It is belive that this tunnel was used by queens and very special Court peoples only. This tunnel is now closed for common people and rarely opened for few days. Just on the South-East of this very beautiful Historic building their is a very famous shiv temple called as Kothi temple (Bum-Khata-khat) . In front of this Building their is a big metal fountain increasing its beauty.
Special Thanks to Mr. Piyush Tiwari for providing such lovely picture of this building.
