One of the most notable Sikh rulers in Indian history was Maharaja Ranjit Singh. From 1799 to 1839, he governed the Sapta-Sindhu area. Some parts of modern-day Pakistan, as well as Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, and Punjab, are included in the Sapta-Sindhu region. A strong and thriving Sikh empire was established in the Sapta-Sindhu region under the visionary leadership of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. An inclusive administrative structure, architectural sponsorship, religious tolerance, and the encouragement of cultural harmony were the hallmarks of Maharaja Ranjit Singh's cultural policy. The Sapta-Sindhu region saw a golden age of artistic growth and cultural integration under his direction. Maharaja Ranjit Singh's cultural policy is discussed in this study. He funded mosques, gurudwaras, educational institutions, and Hindu temples as part of the cultural coordination he founded. Hindus and some Muslims were also heavily involved in the administration under his rule, in addition to Sikh representatives serving as courtiers. Both politically and culturally, he brought the Sapt-Sindhu region together.
