The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee is organising a special Sikh Literary and Art Exhibition at Gurdwara Bangla Sahib to commemorate the sacred Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji.
The exhibition will be held from November 14 to 26, 2026, along the banks of the sacred sarovar at Gurdwara Bangla Sahib. It will remain open to visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
Sharing details of the initiative, DSGMC President Sardar Harmeet Singh Kalka and general secretary Sardar Jagdeep Singh Kahlon said that such meaningful initiatives on the auspicious occasion of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s Parkash Purab would play a significant role in connecting the younger generation with the rich literary, historical and spiritual heritage of sikhism.
Both dsgmc leaders emphasised that the primary objective of the exhibition was not only to cultivate an appreciation for gurmat literature among devotees but also to promote awareness and understanding of the glorious history, philosophy and cultural legacy of the Sikh faith.
Both further informed that prominent and distinguished institutions from Delhi and Punjab would set up special stalls showcasing an extensive collection of books and other publications. These institutions would include Punjabi University, Patiala; the Language Department, Punjab; the National Book Trust of India; the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee; the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee; and various sikh missionary organisations. These institutions would engage with devotees and visitors through their valuable literary works and publications.
Both leaders also added that the exhibition would offer devotees and book enthusiasts a valuable opportunity to explore and acquire authentic and informative literature covering the life and teachings of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji and all the Sikh Gurus, the biographies of the revered bhagats, the profound philosophy of dikhism, gurmat ideology and various significant aspects of sikh history.
In addition, with the support of Punjab & Sind Bank and Punjab Artists (Artists’ Association), important events and significant historical episodes from Sikh history would be portrayed through an impressive collection of paintings. These artistic presentations would provide visitors with an opportunity to witness the glorious chapters of Sikh history, the supreme sacrifices of Sikh martyrs and the priceless memories associated with the rich Sikh heritage.
Sardar Harmeet Singh Kalka and Sardar Jagdeep Singh Kahlon appealed to the entire Sikh Sangat to visit the exhibition in large numbers along with their families and children. They urged the devotees to make the most of this meaningful initiative and strengthen their connection with Gurmat liture, Sikh history and the rich cultural and spiritual heritage of the Sikh community.
