Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib now contains a permanent statue of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the first Sikh king of Punjab.
After spending the previous year in storage at the gurdwara, the statue now stands as a testament to Sikh history and legacy.
Punjab’s Minister for Minority Affairs and Chairman of the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee, Sardar Ramesh Singh Arora, was present during the installation ceremony. Witnessing this historic event were Sikh pilgrims from India as well as representatives from the PMU Kartarpur.
Sardar Ramesh Singh Arora emphasised the statue’s importance by saying, “The restored statue has been installed at Kartarpur Sahib so that Sikh pilgrims and general tourists from the Kartarpur Corridor and around the world can view it.”
He emphasized how crucial it is to safeguard the statue for upcoming generations.
Arora also disclosed preparations in his speech for the imminent repair of Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s samadhi in Lahore. This program is a component of larger initiatives to protect and celebrate the rich Sikh legacy in the area.
