This Kos Minar is a Mughal-period octagonal distance marker located in agricultural fields to the south of the Nurmahal–Phillaur stretch of the Grand Trunk Road in Shampur in Jalandhar district of Punjab. Constructed in the seventeenth century, it is built of lakhori bricks set in lime mortar. The monument is protected by the Archaeological Survey of India (Chandigarh Circle) and survives in good condition; however, access is limited due to surrounding fields.
