Sheranwala Bagh (Punjabi: شیران٘والہ باغ; lit. 'Garden of lions') is a public park located in Gujranwala, Punjab, Pakistan. It dates to the late-18th century, and contains the samadhi of Mahan Singh, the father of the Sikh ruler Ranjit Singh, as well as a baradari.[1][2][3]
The garden was originally built by Mahan Singh and got its name from the statues of two lions which originally stood near its gate.[4] Mahan Singh also built a two-storey baradari inside the garden. After his death, his son Ranjit Singh built his samadhi here in the 1837.[5][6] The Sheranwala Bagh baradari was heavily damaged by the riots that ensued in retaliation of the demolition of Baburi mosque in India, in 1992, but was restored in 2012 by the Municipal authorities.[7]
