distance marker located in Nakodar town in Jalandhar district of Punjab,
adjacent to residential buildings. Constructed in the seventeenth century, it
is built of lakhori bricks set in lime mortar. The monument is protected by the
Archaeological Survey of India (Chandigarh Circle) and survives in good
