Resurrecting History: Maharaja Ranjit Singh's Statue to Grace Kartarpur Sahib

The Punjab government of Pakistan will reinstall Maharaja Ranjit Singh's restored statue at Kartarpur Sahib. The nine-foot bronze statue, previously vandalized, will now be more secure. Indian Sikhs visiting for festivities will witness the unveiling of the statue on Wednesday.

In a significant cultural move, Pakistan's Punjab government announced the restoration and installation of Maharaja Ranjit Singh's statue at Kartarpur Sahib. The nine-foot-tall bronze statue, initially installed in 2019 at Lahore Fort, had faced two incidents of vandalism.

The installation is set for Wednesday, coinciding with the visit of 455 Indian Sikhs attending festivities related to Maharaja Ranjit Singh's death anniversary. Punjab's first Sikh Minister, Sardar Ramesh Singh Arora, confirmed this, assuring enhanced security measures to protect the statue.

Maharaja Ranjit Singh, ushering in the Sikh Empire in the 19th century, remains a figure of high historical significance. His restored statue will now greet visitors at Kartarpur Sahib, allowing Indian Sikhs a unique glimpse into their heritage.
