Subject: General view of the Mughal bridge arches with a temple built above


A Mughal-period bridge located about 3
kilometres west of the Delhi–Multan Road (Old Grand Trunk Road) on the Taraori
(Anjanthali Road), situated between the Sarai and the northern Kos Minar at
Taraori, Karnal district of Haryana. Probably constructed between 1600 and 1699
CE, the bridge is built of lakhori bricks, rubble masonry, and lime mortar, and
consists of five arches supported by robust piers; a temple on its eastern side
represents a later addition. The structure is unprotected and shows surface blackening,
vegetation growth, encroachments, and partial submergence in debris, though it
remains in active use with a modern roadway constructed above it.
