GIS study reconstructs part of the ancient UNESCO listed Delhi–Lahore Badshahi Royal Road using surviving Kos Minars in Punjab
Research reconstructs a section of the ancient Royal UNESCO-listed Delhi–Lahore Badshahi Grand Trunk Road in Punjab through surviving Kos Minars and UNESCO-listed heritage sites, revealing alignment with the Akbari kos (~4.19 km) rather than the commonly cited ~3.2 km value, along with major Sikh–Mughal heritage landscapes, Guru Arjan Dev Ji’s Gurudwara sarovar alignment with the historic road and revealing long-term infrastructural continuity.
