The Ram Bagh, in the north-east of the city, was laid out by the order of Ranjit Singh and, like the Shalimar gardens in Lahore, was intended to provide a haven of tranquility. The gateway, with its two imposing octagonal towers, was known as a 'bunga' and was one of several built during Ranjit Singh's reign for the use of Sikh chiefs visiting Amritsar. It was common for watercolourists and photographers to place a 'native' in front of the building being recorded to provide a sense of scale.
