  • Khan-i Khanan Muhammad Mun'im Khan was appointed the governor of Jaunpur by Emperor Akbar in 1567. A dedicated and diligent administrator, he set to restore a great number of buildings that were destroyed by the Lodis. To encourage the building of civic amenities by his nobles, Mun'im Khan set a personal example by commissioning a number of civic structures around the city. The Mun'im Khan Bridge built over the Gumpti River is one such example and is one of the most significant and picturesque of Mughal structures in the city
