Lukochuri Darwaza, (Bengali: লুকোচুরি দরওয়াজা, lit. 'Hide and Seek Gate,') is a historic Mughal-era gateway in Gaur, Malda, West Bengal, India. It is situated on north of Gumti Gate and southeast of the Qadam Rasul Mosque. Built around the 17th century, likely under Mughal prince Shah Shuja. This three-storeyed tripartite gate has a central four-pointed arch flanked on either side by arched entrances two storeys high, features brick architecture with grand arches and served as an entrance to the Gaur citadel. Part of the ancient city’s ruins, the monument is maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India.
