Although the name of the first Sikh Maharaja of the Panjab, Ranjit Singh (1780–1839), was very well known in northern India during his reign, few outside the Panjab would have known what he looked like. Lacking any portrait miniature from which to copy a likeness, the carver of this ivory statuette gave the maharaja the majestic appearance and jewellery of a Mughal emperor. In reality Ranjit Singh was renowned for his simple dress and plain features, bearing the ravages of childhood smallpox, which had permanently scarred his skin. It also left him blind in one eye, a detail that the carver has incorporated. The statuette is similar to a ‘portrait’ of the Maharaja in an illustrated copy of the ‘Tazkirat ul-’umara’ (‘Historical notices of princely families of Rajasthan and the Punjab by Colonel James Skinner of about 1830, suggesting that the carver used this as his model.

This Building is situated about 1.5 Kilometer from Gurdwara Sucha Sauda Sahib. Sucha Sauda - Manawala Road. It was at this spot that Bhai Mardana told Guru Sahib that he was hungry. It is located about a mile Gurdwara Sacha Sauda on the other side of the railway line. Some donkeys of a merchant laden with sugar were passing by. Guru Sahib asked Bhai Mardana to go and check with the merchant as to what was in the bags? The merchant replied, "It is sand." Guru Sahib said, "Sand it will be". When the bags were checked, it was really sand. The merchant fell on Guru Sahib’s feet and asked for forgiveness. Guru Sahib asked the merchant, "If it were not sand, what else could it be?" The merchant replied, "It was sugar, my Master!" Guru Sahib replied, "All right, sugar it shall be." When the bags were checked again, they actually contained sugar. The merchant unloaded his bags at the feet of the Guru Sahib. There is a splendid Gurdwara with a dome.

Hazuri Bagh is a garden in Lahore, Pakistan, bounded by the Lahore Fort (east side), Badshahi Mosque (west side), the Samadhi of Ranjit Singh (north side) and the Roshnai Gate (south side). In the center stands the Hazuri Bagh Baradari, built by Ranjit Singh.
The Hazuri Bagh is a small enclosure between the Alamgiri Gate of the Lahore Fort and eastern gate of the Badshahi Mosque. This garden was built by Maharajah Ranjit Singh in 1813 to celebrate the capture of the famous Koh-i-Noor Diamond from Shah Shujah of Afghanistan. The Serai Alamgiri formerly stood here.
The garden was planned and built under the supervision of Faqir Azizuddin in the traditional Mughal style layout. After its completion, it is said, Maharajah Ranjit Singh, at the suggestion of Jamadar Khushhal Singh, ordered that marble be removed from various mausoleums of Lahore to construct a baradari (pavilion) here. This task was given to Khalifa Nooruddin. Elegant carved marble pillars support the baradari’s delicate cusped arches. The central area, where Ranjit Singh held court, has a mirrored ceiling. Both the garden and the baradari, originally a 45-foot, three-storey square with a basement approached by fifteen steps, suffered extensive damage during the fratricidal Sikh wars and was only reclaimed and laid out according to the original plan during the British period. On 19 July 1932, the uppermost story collapsed and was never reconstructed.
Every Sunday afternoon, people gather in the gardens to hear reciters recite traditional Punjabi Qisse, such as Heer Ranjha and Sassi Punnun, and other Punjabi Sufi poetry.
The tomb of Muhammad Iqbal lies across from the garden outside of the Badshahi Mosque.

Bhai Vasti Ram (1708-1802), was son of Bhai Bulaka Singh, who is said to have accompanied Guru Gobind Singh to the South in 1707 from where he returned with his blessings to settle in Lahore. Vasti Ram lived through the long period of persecution the Sikhs endured and their eventual rise to political power in the Punjab. He devoted himself to the study of medicine, and became famous for his skill in the use of indigenous herbs. He was deeply religious and Godfearing, and treated his patients free of charge. Stories of his healing power and of his piety spread far and wide, and he came to be credited ‘with supernatural powers. To say nothing of the common people, he was visited by important Sikh chiefs who came to seek his blessings. Among his frequent visitors were Jassa Singh Ahluvalia and the Bharigi sard’di’s, Lahina Singh, Gu[jar Singh, Ganda Singh and Jhanda Singh. Maharaja Ranjit Singh himself became an ardent devotee early in Ins career.
He often used to say tliat it was due to Bhai Vasti Ram’s blessings that he came out successful in the battle ofBhasin (1800), which confirmed him in the possession of Lahore. Bhai Vasti Ram died in 1802 at the ripe age of 94. A marble samadh was raised near the Lahore Fort at the spot where he was cremated. Maharaja Ranjit Singh used to visit it on the occasion of his death anniversary. The structure, like Jain Mandir and many others, faced the wrath of angry mob after the disturbing Babri Mosque incident in 1992.
Samadh of Bhai Wasti ram at Tixali Gate near Shahi Qila Lahore, Pakistan is a protected monument under Protected Archaelogical sites and Monuments in Panjab Province by Pakistan Govt. There is also a bazar named as Dhab Wasti Ram in Amritsar city in Indian State of Panjab.
