Jalna

Jalna stood beside the Kundalika River in the northern Marathwada country. Governor Jamshed Khan built a mosque, a caravanserai and the Moti Talav tank west of the settlement. Underground pipes carried water from the tank to reservoirs within the town, including one in the courtyard of the caravanserai. In 1725 Nizam-ul-Mulk Asaf Jah ordered Kabil Khan to construct the fort and citadel east of Jalna, later known as Mastgad. The fort had a quadrangular plan with semicircular corner bastions.
