Authors:Rai, Gurmeet and Singh, Kavita
Publication:Marg
Enumeration:Vol. 54 Issue no. 4, June 2003, p. 12-29
Abstract:The essay tries to interpret the architectural projects commissioned by 5th and the 6th Gurus in the light of the changing character of the Guruship. The saintly Guru Arjan Dev completed the compilation of the Adi Granth and the Harmandir (Golden Temple), Amritsar. Other architectural projects included water bodies built for the common good with the labour of followers. His son, Guru Hargobind introduced militant resistance to the Sikh fold. The architectural projects be patronized included defensive structures, planned cities, and places of worship. Their personalities encapsulate the double saint-soldier ideal within Sikhism.
