Bab-i-Faiz Gate is also known as Salar Jung Gate. Built by Nawab Sadiq in 1737, it served as main entrance to the town of Panipat. It is constructed of Lakhori bricks and stone foundation. The main passage has two arched openings on either side. The outer multi foliated arches are flanked by decorated with arched niches stacked vertically. Crenellations forming a pattern along the top of a parapet make one of the main features of this gate. The gate currently stands in a busy market area.

Bab-i-Faiz Darwaza (Salar Ganj Gate) at Salar Ganj Bazar, Panipat district, Haryana, is a Mughal-period gateway dated to 1737 CE and commissioned by Nawab Sadiq Ali Khan. Constructed of lakhori brick, stone, marble, and lime mortar, the monument is protected and maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India (Chandigarh Circle).

Constructed of lakhori brick, rubble masonry, and lime mortar with plaster, the complex comprises aligned northern and southern gateways with a central gateway set within a double enclosure, along with residential cells and a mosque. The monument is protected by the Department of Archaeology, Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi.
