A Mughal-period bridge located within OP
Jindal Park, northeast of the Sheikh Chilli Tomb at Thanesar, Kurukshetra,
Haryana. Constructed of lakhori bricks, rubble masonry, and lime mortar, the
bridge carries a roadway over four arches supported by piers with circular
cutwaters, spanning a narrow rivulet historically associated with the Saraswati
River. It is protected by the Archaeological Survey of India (Chandigarh
Circle), and has been restored and incorporated into the landscaped setting of
OP Jindal Park, with portions of its lower fabric now buried under accumulated
soil.
