Samadhi of Atmaramji

Pre-Partition Jain shrine in the old city

The Samadhi of Atmaramji, also known locally as Lala Mubadas Bhabra Jain Mandir, is a small Jain funerary shrine in the old city — one of very few surviving pre-Partition Jain buildings in Pakistani Punjab. It commemorates Acharya Vijayanandsuri (Atmaramji), a 19th-century Jain monk who was born nearby in Lehra. The structure has lain mostly disused since 1947 and the carvings are weather-worn, but the building survives largely intact and is being slowly conserved.

It is the kind of small heritage site that rarely sees visitors but rewards a short detour.
