<p>Karawansarais in Hindustan takes readers on a journey through the historic rest houses that once lined the trade routes of the subcontinent. More than mere shelters, these inns were centres of commerce, cultural exchange, and statecraft. Drawing on historical records, travellers' accounts, and architectural remains, the book reveals their striking designs-fortified gateways, vast courtyards, and arcaded chambers-and the lives they hosted: merchants, pilgrims, nobles, and common travellers. Illustrated with photographs and maps, this work opens a window into a forgotten world of movement, encounter, and exchange, offering both scholars and general readers a vivid portrait of Hindustan's vibrant karawansarais.</p>
