An outline of Sikh architecture
This paper attempts to outline the main elements, principles, and objectives of building design with a view to conjuring up an overall picture of a style of architecture which can be doubtlessly called Sikh architecture.


Ram Singh: Inventor of Sikh architecture
Sardar Bahadur Ram Singh was picked up as an intelligent student of arts and craft from a wood-carver's shop where he worked on daily wages as a young boy. An excellent piece of carving done by him is perhaps still available in Bazar Nauhrian in Amritsar.


Traits of Sikh architecture and art
Bhai Gian Singh's works, immortalized on the walls, roofs and corridors of the Golden Temple, Amritsar, will go down to posterity as a chaste legacy - at once a tribute to the sublime ideas of the artist, as also an eloquent testimony to the mysterious depths attained in art.


Nankana Sahib Foundation
The entrance of the Foundation building will be a replica of entrance of Gurdwara Janam Asthan, Guru Nanak Dev. This Foundation is situated about one mile outside the Nankana Sahib Estate.


Sikh Art Calendar 2004
Art is essential to our history. Transcending time and space, across continents and centuries, local cultures, history, and religions have flourished and survived through art.
