Khalsa College
ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ ਕਾਲਜ
A prestigious Sikh college founded in 1892. Its grand, symmetrical main building in red sandstone Indo-Saracenic style is considered one of the most beautiful campus buildings in Punjab.
Khalsa College was founded in 1892 by a Sikh society. Its main building was designed by the Indian architect Ram Singh and combines Mughal domes, Sikh kiosks and British-style symmetry. Red sandstone façades are topped by white domes, and from a distance it looks like a palace. It often appears in Indian films. The college stands on GT Road on the west side of the city, on the way to the Wagah border, so you can stop to take photos on your way to the flag-lowering ceremony. Visitors inside the campus must follow the college's rules.
