A study of works of art produced under Sikh patronage, marking the 300th anniversary of the Sikh brotherhood. Illustrations include some of the finest pieces from the treasury of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who expanded Sikh rule in North India from 1801 to 1839, and works of art collected by Ranjit Singh, one of the most colourful figures in Sikh history, who acquired the Koh-i-noor diamond. Jewellery, gemstones and textiles, weapons and armour, and paintings and contemporary photographs combine in an attempt to provide a comprehensive picture of Sikh art and culture. The religion of the Sikhs is also explained through paintings, calligraphy and the arts of the book.

In April 1699, Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, baptised five of his followers to create a sacred brotherhood called the Khalsa or the pure ones. Almost overnight, the Sikh people were transformed into nobility, men taking the name Singh, meaning lion, and women the name Kaur, or princess. Among the prescribed symbols for initiates were uncut hair and, for the men, the wearing of turbans which have instantly identified them as Sikhs ever since.

Two centuries ago, Punjab's Sikh ruling elite lavishly patronised artists and craftsmen to enhance the extraordinary splendour of their flourishing empire. A sumptuous array of objects fit for Sikh kings, queens, warriors and saints were produced by skilled artisans to reflect a vibrant and potent new power on the world's stage. Through the remarka

Sikh Art and Literature traverses the 500-year history of a religion that dawned with the modern age in a land that was a thoroughfare of invading armies, ideas and religions and arts of the East and West. Essays by art curators, historians and collectors and religion and literary scholars are illustrated with some of the earliest and finest Sikh paintings. Sikh modernism and mysticism is explored in essays on the holy Guru Granth Sahib; the translations and writings of the British Raj convert, M.A. Macauliffe; the fathers of modern Punjabi literature, Bhai Vir Singh and Puran Singh; and the 20th century fiction writers Bhai Mohan Vaid Singh and Khushwant Singh. Excerpts from journals of visitors to the court of the diminutive and new translations of early twentieth century poetry add depth and originality to this beautiful and accessible introduction to the art, literature, beliefs and history of the Sikhs. Illustrated throughout with 42 colour and 92 black and white images, Sikh Art and Literature is a colourful, heartfelt, and informative introduction to the Sikh culture.

Through exquisite artworks, glittering jewellery and weaponry discover how Ranjit Singh, one of the greatest figures in the history of India, established a hugely influential Sikh Empire at the beginning of the 19th century. Gifted with an indomitable sense of destiny and backed by the tactical support of a guileful mother-in-law and a holy man with a penchant for warfare, Ranjit Singh would emerge as the region's undisputed 'Maharaja' or Great King at the beginning of the 19th century. His meteoric rise to power ushered in a short-lived but hugely influential Sikh Empire that would inextricably impact on the fortunes of the British Empire in the Indian subcontinent. Through a stunning array of over 100 exquisite photographs of artworks, glittering jewellery and weaponry from the Sikh Empire drawn from major private and public collections including the Wallace Collection, explore how Ranjit Singh brought about a golden age where trade boomed, the arts flourished and a formidable army was developed along European lines to keep any British, Afghan, Persian or Russian threat at bay. The book features important historic objects from Ranjit Singh's court, courtiers and family members, including those personally owned by the maharaja and the most famous of his thirty 'official' wives, Maharani Jind Kaur. Also highlighted are objects intimately connected with their son, Maharaja Duleep Singh – the deposed boy-king turned country squire who was a favourite of Queen Victoria and the father of the prominent suffragette, Princess Sophia Duleep Singh. Perhaps most surprisingly, discover the achievements of Ranjit Singh's European officials in the fields of Punjab's military industry, artistic patronage, the shawl trade and diplomatic relations with Europe.

This important new study describes the role of bazaar art amongst the Sikh people and analyzes the posters that are produced today. McLeod first presents a historical survey of all Punjabi art from its beginnings up to the present day. He then investigates the modern bazaar print, describing its origins and discussing the various features that are characteristic to it. The book includes a series of 54 miniature posters actually purchased in the bazaars of New Delhi, which tell the story of Sikh history as popularly conceived.
