A group of monuments, situated to the west of the town are known as Durgah Char-Qutab. Jamal-ud-Din Hanswi (1187-1261 AD), Burhan-ud Din (1261-1303 AD), Qutab-ud-Din Munawwar (1300-1354 AD) and Nur-ud-Din or Nur-e-Jahan (1325-1397 AD) were the celebrated Sufi Saints of their times and designated as ‘Qutabs’. The dargah has been subjected to many changes. The tomb is connected to a small shed. It is said that it is built at the place where Baba Farid used to meditate and offer prayers. One of the most imposing edifices of this complex is the large mosque in the northern enclosure, which was constructed by Firoz Shah Tughlaq. Other important monuments in the complex include the tomb of Mir Ali, who was disciple of Jamal-ud-Din, the first Qutab and is said to have built this tomb for his teacher. But he himself was entombedhere due to his early demise. Also in the complex are the twin tombs of Begum Skinner and chhatries (two kiosks) known as Char Diwan and Ek Diwan.
The cemetery (122mx76m) has a boundary wall about 2.5 m high and it houses about 500 graves of European soldiers who died here in the British cantonment at Karnal. All the graves except a few are absolutely modest in appearance, having been raised on bricks platforms rising to the height of 1.5 to 2 metres.
The edifice known as Firoz Shah’s Palace and tahkhana was built by Firoz Shah Tughlaq, the Sultan of Delhi (1351-1388 AD). Its arches are supported on sandstone carved pillars possibly belonging to some Hindu temples. The palace complex consists of an open courtyard surrounded by two and three-storied structures. A passage with steps leading to the terrace is embedded in the massive western wall of the palace. This passage was most possibly meant for guarding the roofs of the palace. It has several bastions with hollow cores and has a pillared hall connected with other rooms and cells of the palace. The red sandstone structures on the eastern side of the palace and the lotus tank on the terrace, however, are of much later origin.
Buria is an ancient town in district Yamunanagar, situated not far from the river Yamuna. Here at Buria exists a fort built by Sikh rulers. This fort stands on a raised ground with special featured basins.
A chief courtier of Emperor Shah Jahan built a pleasure house at Buria, a three-storied palace popularly known as Rang Mahal. Birbal, one of the close aides of Emperor Akbar was supposedly born at Buria.

This fort is more than 1,000 years old and the ancient fort was surviving till 1857, when its greater part was demolished. This building rests on 36 masonry pillars and arches with carved roofs. Now a huge 50 feet high mound is representing the ancient fort, all structures are on the top of the mound. It is a protect monument by Archeological Survey of India.
