Sar Jalal (formerly Jalal Khurd) was a caravanserai located along an old stretch of the Grand Trunk Road in Pakistan.[1] The caravanserai contains:
- a Mughal era water tank, descended with stairs in it, constructed basically as farood gah to serve the army beside the old Grand Trunk Road. Jalal Khan Ghakkhar, a local chief of Ghakkhars to represent Mughals, constructed the tank (Sar) to be called Sar Jalal in his name, in addition to a patch of tunnel still visible, was also dug out for overflowing water;
- a mosque dating back to the Tughlaq dynasty.[1]
- a shrine to Syed Jahan Shah Badshah Naqashbandi; anniversary (Urs) is celebrated annually on every first Thursday of the Bikrami month of Jeth to be continued for consecutive three days.
- remnants of historical buildings like Police Station of Sarkar Khalsa, Caravanserai, Rani Palace and other buildings.
