The Sikh heritage is spread all over Pakistan and enriches the urban environments with beautiful gurdwaras, smadhis, havelis, gardens and garden pavilions. The Sikh also left their mark on the Mughal forts in Lahore and Sheikhupura. The Sikh architecture is an amalgamation of Hindu and Mughal architecture with an inspiration from the art of Rajput pahari. Although the Sikh art have been discussed by a number of scholars, the architecture of the buildings have never been documented. Similar to other historical monuments these structures have also suffered ravages of time. In recent years the Evacuee Trust Property Board, Government of Pakistan, has taken special interest to preserve this important heritage. The best example is the Gurdwara Kartarpur, which is being developed for the large Sikh community so that they can visit it with convenience. The Shrine is located by the River Ravi close to Narowal and Shakargarh, Pakistan, close to the border with India. During the lifetime of Guru Nanak, the Governor of the area, Duni Chand met with Guru Nanak at Pakhoke and granted him agricultural land on the right bank of river Ravi. On the Guru's acceptance of the land he decided to settle there and a small building or hut was constructed. Kartarpur thus became the first Sikh spiritual center. There is a reference in the historical books that Guru formally laid the foundation of Kartarpur on Magh 13, 1572 Bikrmi year [1515AD]. Apart from Duni Chand, Guru's disciple Doda was also helpful.The gurdwara was built to commemorate the site where Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, settled after his missionary work. He assembled a Sikh community there, and lived for 18 years until his death in 1539. The gurdwara is built where Guru Nanak is said to have died. The shrine is said to house the last copies of the original Guru Granth Sahib. This publication is a step forward in bringing the Sikh heritage to the wider audience across the world. For better preservation a full documentation of the Sikh heritage in the form of plan, elevation, and decorative details of the historical structures is necessitated. Many historic residences have been demolished only to be replaced with modern structures. Those that remain must be preserved. The haveli at Badana near Wagha is the finest monument in fair face and cut, as well as in dressed brick work, and Khem Singh haveli at Kalar Sayedan near Rawalpindi is one of the finest examples of portrait art. A large number of gardens at Kunjah, Eminabad and in Alipur Chatta have vanished or are in a bad state of preservation. It is our hope that this publication will open new avenues towards documentation and research in this chapter of history of architecture.

A fascinating chronicle that focuses on architectural gems of the Sikh Empire. Remnants of the Sikh Empire is a unique guide to the many important Sikh monuments located both in India and Pakistan. It catalogues numerous structures historically associated with the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh during the early nineteenth century. From Mughal to Sikh edifices, this book shines a spotlight on undiscovered masterpieces including forts, havelis (mansions), memorials and palaces across these countries, pictures of which have never been published before. The author travelled extensively across remote regions along the Afghan?Pakistan border with the assistance of the Pakistan Army in order to compile rare footage that documents these habitations. Some of the structures include strategic forts built in the tribal areas of Pakistan by the legendary Sikh hero Hari Singh Nalwa, the existence of which is completely unknown to the general public. Not only does this volume narrate the aesthetic and strategic history behind these structures but it also sheds light on the rich cultural traditions associated with the powerful nobles and courtiers of the Lahore Durbar who reshaped the architectural landscape of Punjab and Kashmir in the nineteenth century. Remnants of the Sikh Empire catapults the reader into an unforgettable journey, retracing the rich heritage of the Punjab in these countries where numerous iconic monuments still stand testament to the power and influence of the Sikh Empire.

Anne Murphy offers a groundbreaking exploration of material representations of the Sikh past, showing how objects, as well as historical sites, and texts, have played a vital role in the production of the Sikh community as an evolving historical and social formation from the eighteenth century to the present. Drawing together work in religious studies, postcolonial studies, and history, Murphy explores how 'relic' objects such as garments and weaponry have, like sites, played dramatically different roles across political and social contexts-signifiers of authority and even sovereignty in one; collected, revered, and displayed with religious significance in another-and are connected to a broader engagement with the representation of the past that is central to the formation of the Sikh community. By highlighting the connections between relic objects and historical sites, and how the status of sites changed in the colonial period, she also provides crucial insight into the circumstances that brought about the birth of a new territorial imagination of the Sikh past in the early twentieth century, rooted in existing precolonial historical imaginaries centered in place and object. The life of the object today and in the past, she suggests, provides unique insight into the formation of the Sikh community and the crucial role representations play in it.
