KosetTM
KOSET TM, an endurance cycling event, draws its inspiration from the ancient Indian measurement system of Kos. Originating from the Vedic period, a 'krośa' or 'kos' is an ancient subcontinental standard unit of distance, approximately equivalent to 3,075 meters, as per the Arthashastra.
Historically, India's old highways, particularly the Grand Trunk Road (G.T. Road), featured 16th to early 18th-century Kos Minars erected at distances of a little over two miles. These minars served as vital markers for measuring distances, notably between Agra and Ajmer, Agra and Lahore, and from Agra to Mundu in the south.
