Sarai Fatehabad
Also known as Fatehabad Sarai
Fatehabad Sarai, on the old Lahore-Delhi imperial highway in Tarn Taran district, keeps the carved sandstone north and south gateways of a Mughal caravanserai built in Jahangir's reign around 1611. The surviving arches, pishtaq niches and Persian inscriptions are typical of the hundred-plus imperial sarais Jahangir and Shah Jahan commissioned at a day's march apart along the trunk road.
