ONE SARAI IN CHATRI AJMER

GENRAL VIEW

Like other sarais of the Mughal period located on ancient route from Agra to Ajmer, this is also square on plan with small cells all along the outer wall facing the inner side. The sarai has two double storeyed arched gateways in the north and south directions. The building material used was stone rubble and lakhauri brick in lime mortar with 7.5 cm thick plaster. Earlier, there was a well in the centre of the open courtyard which is now filled with debris and has replaced with a fountain surrounded by a garden. The whole structure is in a dilapidated condition. Kos-minars have been located near sarais at regular intervals.
