Description
The Samadh of Ranjit Singh is occupying the spot where he was cremated. It lies just opposite the front on its west, built in bricks with a sprinkling of red sandstone and marble. It is an unhappy mixture of Hindu and Muslim architecture composed and constructed in conformity with Hindu tastes. The square roof with a central fluted dome is crowned with small pavilions. The ceilings are decorated with glass mosaic. The interior of the Samadh is also decorated with frescoes depicting mostly the life stories of Sikh Gurus. The large marble door-frame of the main entrance to the Samadh is decorated with superb Petra dura work, originally belonged to Shish Mahal.
