Hazoori Bagh


The ashes of the Sikh ruler of Punjab, Maharaja Ranjeet Singh, and of his four wives lie in a dome adjacent to the Hazoori Bagh and is famously known as 'Samadhy of Maharaja Ranjeet Singh'. Apart from these there are certain Shrines and Mausoleums like the Shrine of Data Sahib (Hazrat Ali Hajveri), the Mausoleum of Emperor Jehangir, Asif Khan's (Jehangir's brother-in-law) Mausoleum, Empress Noor Jehan's (light of the world) Tomb whose name appeared on the coins of the Mughal Empire, Qutbuddin Aibak's Tomb, Anarkali's Tomb and the tomb of Allama Muhammad Iqbal who has been hailed as the poet-philosopher of the East.
