1 year ago

Gor Khatri is a Mughal-era caravanserai located in Peshawar, Pakistan. It is a fortified compound consisting of an area of 160x160 square meters. The caravanserai was built in the early 16th century by Jahanara Begum, daughter of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. It was originally a Buddhist shrine and monastery, but was converted into a caravanserai by Jahanara Begum. The caravanserai was used by travelers on the Silk Road between India and Central Asia. It also served as a resting place for pilgrims on their way to the Khyber Pass.
