Ram Bagh palace also known as Ram Bagh Mahal, is a palace situated in the centre of this garden, which was used as the summer residence of Ranjit Singh. It was completed in 1831 and is named after the fourth guru of the Sikhs, Guru Ram Das, who founded the city of Amritsar. The whole Ram Bagh complex including the palace and other monuments is both a state protected monument and a monument of national importance. The complex is also at the centre of a long drawn legal battle, which has adversely affected its conservation and restoration.
