The statue of Maharaja Ranjit Singh is now permanently housed at the Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib.
Sikh pilgrims, officials from India’s Project Management Unit Kartarpur, and Minister Ramesh Singh Arora, Pardhan of the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee and Punjab Minority Affairs, attended the ceremony.
Arora emphasized the importance of protecting this statue during this occasion.
“To allow Sikh pilgrims and other visitors from the Kartarpur Corridor and around the world to view it, the restored statue has been installed at Kartarpur Sahib,” he said.
He added that work on restoring Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s Samadhi in Lahore would shortly get underway.
Traveling Sikhs from various nations arrive in Pakistan to observe the 185th anniversary of Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s passing on Saturday in Lahore.
