Tomb of Lala Rukh

This elegant Mughal-era tomb, located directly opposite the Gurdwara Panja Sahib, is traditionally attributed to Princess Lala Rukh, daughter of the Mughal Emperor Akbar. The attribution is disputed by historians — the princess of that name appears in later Orientalist literature rather than Mughal records — but the tomb itself is undeniably fine.

The structure dates to the sixteenth century and is a good example of Mughal funerary architecture: a raised platform, arched niches, and decorative tilework in the characteristic Lahori style. It is rarely crowded, sitting quietly in the shadow of the much more visited gurdwara across the street.
