Join us the 28th and 29th in Leeds,  at the court of Maharajah Ranjit Singh, ‘The Lion of Punjab’.

It’s 1838. The mighty Maharaja has kept the British at bay for three decades, and now they want to march an army across Punjab into Afghanistan. Will the Earl of Auckland, the Governor-General of British India, persuade the Lion of Lahore? Do you have skills and knowledge the shrewd ruler can employ? Come find out…

Ranjit Singh established a Sikh kingdom whilst defending India against invasion. His reign saw a renaissance of Sikh culture.

Featuring the Sikh Museum Initiative ‘3d digital showcase’ of Sikh Relics and Artefacts on our touchscreens and Virtual Reality Headsets.
