Explanation

Maharaja Ranjit Singh (1780-1839) established the Sikh Empire with Lahore as its capital in 1799. Lahore remained the political and administrative center throughout his reign, during which he unified Punjab and created a powerful state. While Amritsar was spiritually significant as a holy city, it was not the capital. Patiala and Kapurthala were princely states with their own rulers.
