At the end of Sethi-street you see the Mogol-caravanserai Gor Khatri. A big Mongol gate leads to a big courtyard (200-m square), on all 4 sides there were rooms for travellers. This place is almost a holy place for more than 2000 years. In the 2nd century after Christ it was a Buddhist Sanctuary and monastery. When Buddhism lost a bit of its popularity it became a Hindu temple, and in the Sikh period a mosque was built here, later on the Sikh's destroyed the Mosque and built a temple for Gokarhnath (19th century).
