Kos Minar, Kohand, Haryana

A Mughal-period distance marker located along National Highway 44 (Old Grand Trunk Road), southeast of Kohand, Karnal, Haryana. Probably constructed between 1600 and 1699 CE, the octagonal tower is built of lakhori bricks with rubble masonry and lime mortar, and stands on a brick platform with a ring moulding between the octagonal base and cylindrical shaft. The monument is protected by the Archaeological Survey of India (Chandigarh Circle) and remains well maintained, with no major structural damage observed, though its base now lies below the present ground level.
