Badli Serai, built during the Late Mughal period, served as a shelter for travelers, traders, and pilgrims. It is also historically significant for the Battle of Badli Serai in 1857, a key event in the Indian Rebellion. Architecturally, Badli Serai is designed in the Indo-Persian style. The structure has a square layout with two prominent double-arched gateways on the front side, flanked by arched cells on either side of the entrance. These cells, enclosed with iron bars, include steps that lead up to the terrace, giving the building a fortified look and adding functional spaces for travelers. The building materials primarily include Lakhori bricks bound with lime mortar and coated with lime plaster. The doors and entrances are fitted with iron grills, reinforcing the structure’s durability and security.
