Title: Streets of Lahore
Medium: Digital Art
Commissioner: Iman Mahal

Maharaja Ranjit Singh and his army are marching through Lahore at the height of the Sarkar-e-Khalsa.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and Sri Dasam Guru Granth Sahib Ji are carried on magnificently adorned elephants through the opulent streets. Sikh soldiers, officers, and infantry lead the procession, while crowds gather in awe and reverence, with finely dressed men and women draped in silks and adorned with jewels and gems, a reflection of the Sikh Raj’s prosperity.

Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s rule included significant wealth distribution via his irrigation initiatives and fair land revenue system. This boosted agricultural output and economic stability, resulting in thriving communities and attracting Europeans who sought fortunes in this flourishing empire. This moment embodies both the spiritual reverence and material wealth that defined the grandeur of Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s reign.
