Serai Nurmahal, Caravanserai in Nurmahal, India.

The red sandstone structure features 140 cells arranged in a quadrangular layout with octagonal towers at each corner of the complex.

Between 1619 and 1621, Empress Nurjahan, wife of Mughal Emperor Jehangir, commissioned this inn with assistance from Nawab Zakariya Khan.

The western gateway displays detailed stone carvings of lotus medallions, angels, lions, and peacocks, reflecting Mughal architectural preferences.

The Archaeological Survey of India maintains this national monument, which includes accommodation cells, a mosque, and water facilities for visitors.

The entrance complex incorporates double gates that operated independently, creating a secure checkpoint system for travelers during Mughal times.
