Samadhi Ranjit Singh

Samadhi Ranjit Singh

The burial urns of the famous Sikh ruler, Ranjit Singh, are preserved in the Samadhi of Ranjit Singh. Built next to Badshahi Mosque, Lahore Fort, and Gurdwara Dera Sahib in the 18th century, the building was renovated after it was damaged in the devastating 2005 earthquake. The building is a rare and unique combination of Sikh, Hindu, and Islamic architecture. Samadhi of Ranjit Singh introduces you to another chapter of the rich history of the subcontinent – the Sikh rule. The blend of Sikh, Hindu, and Islamic architecture is the epitome of the diverse culture of the subcontinent before the Partition. Samadhi of Ranjit Singh is an important place for the Sikhs, but followers of other religions also visit the place to respect a great ruler.
