Maharaja Ranjit Singh Ji’s Throne, Victoria & Albert Museum, London, U.K.

After his death, the Sikh Empire faced internal struggles, eventually leading to conflicts with the British East India Company and its annexation in 1849. However, Ranjit Singh remains remembered as one of the greatest leaders in Sikh and Indian history.
