General view of the western front of the citadel with its entrance and the highest remaining parts of the walls. There are three successive walls of increasing height. The outer one with a crenellation, the middle one is rather dilapidated, the over-towering inner walls are partly decorated with geometrical brick patterns and remains of a crenellation. The upper part of the lofty corner tower is fallen in, but some openings with pointed arches remain. In front of the entrance one person in traditional clothing is slightly visible.

This photograph may look very much like the one taken by G.P. Tate: The Frontiers of Baluchistan, f.p. 103: a photograph of the whole Qala, taken from the south.
