Takht-i-Akbari, the coronation platform of Mughal emperor Jalal-ud-din Mohammad Akbar at Kalanaur town is in a dilapidated state and depicts the tale of negligence on the part of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and the Punjab Tourism Department. The monument has been declared to be of national importance under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains (AMASR) Act, 1958, but it seems that the departments concerned are least interested in the maintenance of the protected site.nnAs per history, the coronation summary of 14-year-old Akbar was performed by Mughal military commander Bairam Khan at Kalanaur in 1556, soon after the death of his father, Humayun. It is said that when Akbar was coronated at Kalanaur, the town was spread widely and the place was close to the town, but now the platform is away from the main town and is in the fields.nnA narrow bumpy path on the Kalanaur-Gurdaspur road leads to the platform. There is no proper signage on the main road about the historical monument, so it is quite tough for tourists to find it easily. The algae on the walls and the platform is very much visible. No one has been deployed for the security of the protected monument.

Place is not maintained properly inspite of being of Historical importance,,,Located amidst the green lush farms it looks quite spectacular though...
