Subject: General view


This Kos Minar is a Mughal-period octagonal
distance marker located to the north of the caravansarai (rest house) near the
bus stand at Sultanpur Lodhi in Kapurthala district of Punjab. Constructed in
the seventeenth century, it is built of lakhori bricks set in lime mortar. The
monument is unprotected and survives in generally good condition, though
vegetation growth and the presence of a peepal tree adjacent to the structure
pose risks to its stability.
