The access to the Bārūd Khānā (Magazine) is actually by a flight of steps located in the III barbican, and abutting the wall of the V entrance. Thus, the approach to the Bārūdkhānā has been very well safe guarded by the guard-rooms opposite to it and from the entrance No.V. Further, from the barbican III, is a passage by a flight of steps to another entrance i.e. No.VI. In between the barbican III and the entrance VI, there is a zig-zag wall connecting the guard rooms facing the entrance V and the entrance VI, near the flight of steps, from the Barbican III, is a war drum base (Fig. 50).
