Samadhi Maharaja Ranjit Singh

The Samadhi of Ranjit Singh (Punjabi: رنجیت سنگھ دی سمادھی; Urdu: رنجیت سنگھ کی سمادھی) is a 19th-century building in Lahore, Pakistan that houses the funerary urns of the Sikh Maharaja Ranjit Singh (1780 – 1839). It is located adjacent the Lahore Fort and Badshahi Mosque, as well the Gurdwara Dera Sahib which marks the spot where the 5th guru of Sikhism, Guru Arjan Dev, died. Its construction was started by his son and successor Maharaja Kharak Singh after the ruler’s death in 1839, and completed nine years later. It overlooks the Hazuri Bagh, which was built by Ranjit Singh, to its south.
