Samadh of Sir Ganga Ram
PunjabSamadhProtected
The Samadhi of Sir Ganga Ram is located on Ravi Road, in the locality of Karim Park, very close to Taxali Gate of the walled city. The site is being looked after by the Evacuee Trust Property Board and is very well-maintained. It is an imposing one and was built in 1927 in the style of a Mughal Baradari and is topped by a raised bulbous dome. The exterior is a simple structure owing to renovation work following the damage done to the building during the riots of 1992, after the demolition of Babri Mosque in India. Evacuee Trust Property Board got the renovations done after the incident. The Samadhi has the cemetery where the ashes were buried and a board is placed there praising the contributions of Sir Ganga Ram along with a brief description about him.
