CENTER FOR ART AND ARCHAEOLOGY
The Pukhta Sarai is a rest house at Khail
Mohalla, Palwal district of Haryana and built between 1611 and 1615 CE during
the reign of Emperor Jahangir, and is possibly attributed to Shaikh Farid
Bukhari. Constructed of lakhori bricks and lime mortar, the sarai once served
as a rest house for travellers along the imperial route. Today, only parts of
the structure survive, including the single-storeyed western gateway (known as
the Delhi Darwaza), which is now occupied by shops. The monument is currently
unprotected.
