Taraori is a small town situated north of Delhi, on the Grand Trunk Road, in Karnal district of Haryana. At present only the sarai and a masonry tank on the southern side of the sarai survive. The gateways of the sarai are placed in its northern and southern walls. The gateways were three storeyed structure. While the southern gateway is still in a better condition, upper storeys of the northern gateway has crumbled. There are painted decorations still seen on the soffit of the larger entrance arch of the southern gateway. The main motif is a flower plant in a pot. The mosque of the sarai is in the south-western side and now accommodates a Gurudwara. At present the sarai is heavily inhabited by the families who migrated to these parts during the partition of India in 1947. Many tanks were built along the Agra-Lahore highway; some survive at Sikandra, Faridabad, Taraori, Sarai Banjara, and Raja Tala etc. Traditionally construction of the tank along with the sarai Taraori is attributed to Aurangzeb. It is a tank of large compass, rectangular in shape, enclosed with brick wall. This tank was filled with rainwater or maybe some water channel from a nearby stream or river.
