Stepwell near Sarai Amanat Khan, Pu...

The stepwell is located near Sarai Amanat Khan’s Western gateway on the Tarn Taran–Attari Road in Tarn Taran district of Punjab. The stepwell has a well at the southern end and a double-storied entrance gateway at the northern end, initially with three rooms. The well was restored before the documentation but remained dry and unused. Its architectural style and proximity to the Sarai suggest a connection to Amanat Khan.

Stepwell near Sarai Doraha, Punjab

The stepwell at Doraha is a Mughal-period stepwell located to the south of the rest house Sarai Doraha in Ludhiana district of Punjab, and probably constructed between 1611-1620 CE contemporaneously with the sarai. It is built of brick and lime mortar and extends over 46 metres in length, incorporating a large circular well and an adjoining chamber with arched openings facing the well shaft. The structure is unprotected and survives in a deplorable condition, with substantial portions submerged due to a rise in the water level.
