Subject: General view


The Kos Minar at Sarai Amanat Khan (Attari
Road), Tarn Taran district of Punjab, is a Mughal-era distance marker designed
to indicate distances along important routes. Built between 1600 and 1699 CE
with lakhori bricks set in lime mortar, this octagonal, pillared monument
features a circular upper section. Located near the caravansarai (rest house)
Sarai Amanat Khan, it likely served as a marker to signal the presence of a
nearby halting station. The Archaeological Survey of India (Chandigarh Circle)
now protects the monument.
