Gurdwara Dera Sahib, Sikh temple near Lahore Fort, Pakistan
Gurdwara Dera Sahib is a Sikh shrine in Lahore featuring a golden dome and walls decorated with intricate frescoes and murals. The complex includes a main prayer hall, a monument containing a golden palki sahib, and a connection to the burial site of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
The shrine was established in 1619 to commemorate a spiritual leader who departed at the river in 1606. The site later became associated with a major Punjabi ruler from the 1800s and his family members.
The site serves as a focal point for Sikh devotion, where visitors encounter religious imagery and witness daily prayer rituals. The space reflects how the community connects spiritually with their past through collective worship and remembrance.
The shrine is located near Lahore Fort and is best explored during daylight hours for full appreciation of its details. The site is walkable and offers clear orientation points both within the complex and in the surrounding area.
Stone slabs inside mark where urns once held the ashes of a major Punjabi ruler and his relatives. This transformation shows how the site evolved over time while maintaining its role as a place of remembrance.
