This Kos Minar is a Mughal-period octagonal
distance marker located in agricultural fields south of the Chabal–Attari Road
in Tarn Taran district of Punjab, opposite the tomb and sarai (rest house) at
Nurdi. Constructed in the seventeenth century, it is built of lakhori bricks
set in lime mortar. The monument is unprotected and survives in complete form,
with minor surface blackening and loss of lime plaster visible.
