What I imagine Shri Harimandir Sahib (Golden Temple) might have looked like before it was covered in gold and marble. Its humble origins are of mud and brick, surrounded only by a sacred pool (amritsar), trees and wildlife as it has yet to develop into a large urban community. These swans are the spiritually exalted gursikhs that swim in and drink from that abundant supply of amrit, which comes from the meditation of guru’s name.

Keep an eye out for my painting of Guru Arjun Dev ji. It depicts the martyrdom of Guru Sahib in meditation being tortured on a hot plate with burning sand. I am in the process of painting the final touches.

Capturing the Red Fort

Bhai Baghel Singh ji, Delhi, Red Fort, Capturing, Khalsa, Singh, Sikh Art, Punjab Art, Indian Art, Military Art

Bhai Baghel Singh (1730 – 1802) won over the Red Fort during the Sikh Misl period. First looting the neighbouring villages and towns, he along with other Sardars attacked the Red Fort in March of 1783. The Sardars settled on a treaty with the Emperor, collected their loot and returned to Punjab. However, Bhai Baghel Singh stayed and built gurudwaras at historical sites in Delhi, and he is remembered for carrying out this important mission.

This speed painting captures this key moment in Sikh history and celebrates Bhai Baghel Singh’s achievements.

Guru Nanak - Shabad Vichar

“Men (and women) from all over the world and throughout history have been in search of pleasant sites and sounds, tastes and sensations, and attitudes. They noticed that even in the best of times, without sickness, death and horrors of old age, happiness and pleasure could only be felt temporarily by having to repeat things like eating delicious food, having professional success and celebrating festivals. Many over the ages accepted this as a fact of life, and lived their lives around reiterating this temporary relief.

However, some began to wonder whether there was a form of happiness that was not dependent on having one’s family and friends within arm’s reach, or taking all kinds of drugs…” READ MORE

Important Updates – August

Bhagat Singh’s newest painting, Guru Nanak – Spiritual Ecstasy, will be released soon. We have also made several preparations to provide you with a better experience.

Earlier this summer, it was brought to our attention that shipping was very expensive for our international customers, especially for those admirers back home. For a period of time, we had reduced our prices to cover shipping costs. The response was tremendous! We thank all of you for your support! Once again we’ve decided to reduce the price of our Canvas Prints by 10%, and have provided free shipping on Canvas Prints or purchases over $190.

We will now handle all purchases ourselves in order to make the process a lot easier (just look at the newly reduced Frequently Asked Questions page). We still sell through Imagekind as they have the best services available. However, handling the purchases ourselves not only allows us to provide free shipping but also allows us to provide you with Sizes without the decimals, for example, 32.0″ x 18.8″ becomes 32″ x 20″ for Battle of Chamkaur. We can also provide a 1-2 inch border around our prints for ease of framing.

We normally handle bulk orders in this way. Non-bulk orders of several prints over $190 are common. So processing the orders ourselves will allow us to provide those customers with free shipping, normal sizes and added borders.

We are also looking to improve our website with an automated service, in the near future. In the meanwhile, please contact the artist to place an order now.

We hope you appreciate our efforts and continue to support Sikhi Art. Remember to voice your concerns here.
