A Mughal-period distance marker located in
agricultural fields about 250 metres west of the Grand Trunk Road/National
Highway 44 at Mundkati, Palwal, Haryana. Probably constructed between 1600 and
1699 CE, the octagonal tower is built of lakhori bricks bonded with lime mortar
and has an octagonal base with small square openings. The monument is protected
by the Archaeological Survey of India (Chandigarh Circle), though no signboard
was present at the time of photography. It is well maintained despite minor surface
blackening and loss of plaster.
