EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph captures the Akal Bunga at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, dating back to 1864. The Golden Temple, also known as Darbar Sahib, holds immense significance for Sikhs around the world as their holiest shrine. The pool of immortality, Amritsar, was granted by Emperor Akbar to Guru Ram Das in 1577 and has since become a center of spiritual devotion.
The Akal Bunga stands majestically in the middle of the pool, safeguarding the temple treasures within its walls. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of this sacred site.
William 'Crimea' Simpson's detailed lithograph brings to life the intricate design and grandeur of this historical landmark. The black-and-white depiction adds a sense of timelessness to this moment captured over a century ago.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when faith and tradition intertwined seamlessly at the heart of Sikhism. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy and cultural heritage preserved within these hallowed grounds.
