Samadhi of Ranjit Singh, 19th century royal mausoleum in Lahore, Pakistan

The Samadhi features gilded fluted domes, cupolas, and ornate balustrades, integrating marble structures with glass mosaic ceilings and red sandstone decorations.

Construction of this memorial began after Maharaja Ranjit Singh's death in 1839 under his son Kharak Singh's supervision and reached completion in 1848.

The architecture combines Sikh, Hindu, and Islamic elements, displaying carved images of Ganesh, Devi, and Brahma on the front entrance made from red sandstone.

The central marble urn contains Ranjit Singh's ashes, while smaller surrounding urns hold the remains of four queens and seven members of the royal court.

The structure stands on sixteen pillars, with eight additional supports added during British administration due to structural requirements over time.
