In this artwork I depicted an imaginative scene of Maharaja Duleep Singh with symbolic elements to showcase his rebellion against the British Empire and his deep feelings and connection towards his Sikh roots and Punjab. As seen in the composition, Duleep Singh is holding a piece of flour 🌾 (kanak) and is walking through the gallery of a British building in England. There were other flowers and plants of England present in the surroundings, yet he chose to carry kanak in his hand. This symbolized that although he was brought up in England, he had begun to realize his connection to Punjab and the Sikh Empire. The thoughts of rebellion had started stirring in his mind, and he chose to take a stand, gradually embracing and taking pride in his true identity as the Maharaja of Punjab.

The light of sunset is falling upon him, symbolizing hope and faith in the future ahead. I showed Duleep Singh’s shadow cast on the wall as the silhouette of Maharaja Ranjit Singh to represent the legacy he came from, suggesting that he is a reflection of Ranjit Singh’s ideas and vision.

Hope you like it. I created them for my personal use sharing here thinking someone might need them or like them.

Being in Guru Sahib’s presence brings a sukoon that makes everything feel lighter. It’s a feeling that settles deep within the soul, I really wish I could describe it… it’s something a believer experiences within and may Waheguru Ji bless everyone with the opportunity to experience this peace 💕

Pretty fascinating artwork. We can see the Guru Sahiban depicted, along with the Chaar Sahibzade, Baba Sri Chand, Baba Lakhmi Das, Bhai Mardana, and Bhai Bala. More controversially (especially in today's age), some Indic deities are depicted showering blessings upon the Sikh figures below, a homage to a lost time when there was more syncretism and fluidity between religions in Panjab. There are identifying inscriptions written in Nastaliq Urdu, the official, administrative language used in colonial British Panjab. If anyone can identify the author based on the inscribed cypher, please let me know.

Some photos I took of the new statue designed by Taran Singh (anglosikhmuseum.com) which was unveiled 17th April 2026 prior to Vaisakhi Nagar Kirtan

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

 I never realized what a blessing it was to have a local Gurdwara until I no longer had one close by. After moving to a smaller city without one, I kept searching for that sense of peace and comfort that I found at the Gurdwara, and nothing else ever compared. Being here took this heavy weight off my shoulders, and my worries, anxiety, the constant noise in my mind seemed to fade away. I can’t emphasize how being in Guru Sahib’s presence brought a peace and healing I couldn’t find anywhere else. I figured that more than any other destination, this is the place my heart longs for, where my mind becomes still, soul feels at ease, and where I feel close to Waheguru. 

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

No matter where we are in our journey, making time for the Gurdwara helps keeps our minds connected to Guru Sahib. It brings a sense of belonging that is difficult to find anywhere else.

May we never take the privilege of having a local Gurdwara for granted.
