The grand vision of the Khalsa Heritage Complex promises to be a truly inspiring  tribute to the heroic and poignant sang of the sikhs and the Punjab. The timing is perfect as the core message of “sarbat da bhala” holds contemporary, global significance. When completed, there would hardly be any parallels amongst other cultural institutions worldwide in terms of quality and scale of conception in both architecture and design.

The narrative Museum, the soul of the Khalsa Heritage Complex, is the first of its kind in India. It proposes to harness state- of –the – art communication technologies to capture the spirit of the past and build bridges to the future. The Museum will chronicle a spirited cultural cultural heritage, not only to serve as a reaffirmation of roots but also position Anandpur Sahib and Punjab as a world-class destination.

Here is a splendid endeavour that contextualizes the Punjab’s cultural legacy in order to motivate greater achievement with humility, passion for excellence and above all, instills the desire to improve the lot of humanity. This then is the vision being offered to the world.

The Government of Punjab is fully committed to ensure completion of the project by September 2004 to coincide with the 400th year of the installation of the Guru Granth Sahib at Amritsar. Out of a total project cost of Rs. 210 crores (US$ 44 million), Rs. 71  crores (US$ 15 million) have been utilized to complete the building structure, Exhibit design is currently in progress.

While this dream, this ‘ajooba’, is already taking shape in brick and mortar, it does urgently need the whole-hearted support of the Punjabi community, particularly the Sikh Diaspora, to contribute to its successful completion in the true spirit of kar seva.

Donors will be suitably honored with their names appropriately inscribed in the Complex.
