Onion domes, mirror work, and painted interiors in religious and royal structures.
Sikh architecture in Punjab emerged prominently under Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Inspired by Mughal models but marked with distinct religious symbolism, Sikh buildings fused regional traditions with unique flair.
Structures like the Samadhi of Ranjit Singh and Gurdwara Dera Sahib feature lotus domes, jharokas (balconies), frescoes, and interior mirror mosaics. Ornate arches and carved stone railings are also common.
Their architecture reflects devotion, artistic pride, and the distinct identity of the Sikh rule, especially in and around Lahore.
