Beyond this the road was formerly lined on both sides by the houses of the bazar. It next passes through the inner gateway, called the Naubat Khana, or Music House, where, as in all Mogul fortresses, the court musicians played to announce the Emperor's arrival or departure, and various state ceremonials.
A natua is one of these Nats, and in English Gipsy nautering means going about with music. Other attractions may be added, but, as I have heard a Gipsy say, "it always takes music to go a-nauterin' or nobbin'." Naubat in the language of the Hindu Nats signifies "time, turn, and instruments of music sounding at the gate of a great man, at certain intervals."
THE MINT. Some distance beyond the Naubat Khana, on the right, is a large building believed to have been the Imperial Mint. Rare specimens of gold, silver, and copper coins from the Fatehpur Mint are in the British Museum.

Turning severely to those responsible for the peace of the city, he demanded why such an outrage was permitted in the very presence of the Emperor. "It is always darkest directly under the shadow of the lamp," was the courtly reply. THE NAUBAT KHANA. Inside the gate the road passes, by the right, a large quadrangle surrounded by a ruined cloister, which was probably used for barracks.
The gate is a fine example of the early Mogul style; it contains the Naubat khana, or music gallery, where the royal kettledrums announced the Emperor's arrival or departure, and all state functions.
