Along the sides of these roads shady trees were planted, wells dug out and resting places for travellers called serais were constructed.

[1] The serai was constructed on the orders of Noor Jahan, wife of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir under the supervision of Zakariya Khan in 1618AD, then Governor of the Doab.

The inscription written in four rhyming verses, reads as follows: There were plenty of rooms, Emperor's quarters, a well and a mosque inside the serai area.

At this spot the Vakils of Nur Jahan Begam had built a lofty house, and made a royal garden.

On this account the Begam, having begged for an entertainment, prepared a grand feast, and by the way of offering, with great pains produced all kinds of delicate and rare things.
