Subject: General view


This Kos Minar is a Mughal-period octagonal
distance marker located in Jhabal Manan in Tarn Taran district of Punjab,
approximately 50 metres north-west of the Grand Trunk Road. Constructed in the
seventeenth century, it is built of lakhori bricks set in lime mortar and is
distinguished by a surviving red band on its shaft. The monument is unprotected
and survives in poor condition, with modern brick repairs at the base, surface
blackening, painted advertisements, and later paint applied by locals.
