Subject: General view


The Kos Minar at Ghungrali in Ludhiana
district of Punjab is a Mughal-period distance marker located in agricultural
fields approximately 1.5 km outside the village. Originally surviving only as a
fragmentary base, the structure has since been completely rebuilt. Constructed
of brick and lime mortar and dated to the seventeenth century, the monument is
protected by the Archaeological Survey of India (Chandigarh Circle); however,
the present form reflects extensive reconstruction, and the original shape of the
Kos Minar is no longer ascertainable.
