IMMERSIVE EXHIBITION DEPICTS THE GURU’S JOURNEY FROM BIRTH TO SACRIFICE THROUGH PICTORIALS AND GURBANI
Sri Anandpur Sahib, November 23-
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Sunday inaugurated a special exhibition gallery showcasing the life and legacy of the “Hind Di Chadar” Ninth Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, at Virasat-e-Khalsa here on Sunday, drawing crowds from all walks of life.
The Chief Minister said that the gallery was a part of the ongoing events to commemorate the 350th martyrdom day of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur ji at Sri Anandpur Sahib. He said that the immersive gallery offers a profound narrative of the Guru’s spiritual and worldly journey. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the exhibition is thoughtfully divided into five distinct segments: birth and early Life, spiritual Life, illumination of Guruship, path of Righteousness and Martyrdom, each bringing a pivotal chapter of the Guru’s life to the fore.
The Chief Minister said that central to the display are models representing the sacred training of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji including a horse, swords, and bow and arrows symbolizing his mastery in martial disciplines. He said that historical dioramas featuring the ‘Beda’ (ship) of the devoted Makhan Shah Lubhana, and a powerful installation of a bonfire depicting the supreme sacrifice and steadfast fortitude of Bhai Dyala Ji are also a key attraction. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the recreated house of Lakhi Shah Wanjara also stood as a poignant centre of attraction.
Meanwhile, the Chief Minister said that elaborate pictorials, interwoven with verses of Gurbani, beautifully illustrate the Guru’s path from his birth to his ultimate martyrdom, creating a deeply moving experience for visitors. He said that the move is aimed at perpetuating the glorious legacy of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur ji to the coming generations. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that it is the need of the hour to apprise them about the supreme sacrifice made by Guru sahib for humanity and religious tolerance.
