Punjab (Sarai Amanat khan) Holiday Tour 04 nights 05 Days

The Sarai was built by Amanat Khan in 1640. It is located about 29 kilometers south-east of Amritsar on Tarn Taran Attari road. Amanat Khan was the title of Abd al-Haqq Shirazi. It was given to him by Shah Jahan during the year 1632. He was associated with the Mughal court as a royal librarian and master calligrapher. The inscription on the gateway of the tomb of Akbar at Sikandra, Shahi Madrasa Mosque and probably the Chini-ka-Rauza at Agra were also designed by Amanat Khan, but he is best known for his inscriptions on the Taj Mahal. Amanat was the brother of Allami Afzal Khan, the Diwan of Shah Jahan. A near-contemporary writer Chandrabhan Brahman informs us that after the death of Afzal Khan on 17 January 1639, Amanat Khan resigned from his office and gave up his mansab and taking to the corner of retirement, he became a complete recluse. And he constructed at the distance of one stage from Lahore, a heart-pleasing Sarai.
