Panjab Digital Library’s Post

As part of our internship program at the Panjab Digital Library, I am thrilled to share the success of our recently curated exhibition titled "The Sikh Empire (1710-1849) Perspectives by International Artists and Authors", which was held at Guru Gobind Singh College for Women, Chandigarh. Working alongside a dedicated team of interns - Bilaval Kaur, Bani Kaur, Jodha Singh, Gani Kaur, Ilahe Kaur, and Rubbi Singh - we aimed to provide a comprehensive view of Punjab during the Sikh Raj, celebrating its rich history beyond the boundaries of religion, caste, and creed. The response has been overwhelming, with over 3000 visitors in just three days! Due to popular demand, we extended the exhibition from its initial two-day schedule (17th and 18th July) to an additional day. We were honored to welcome several notable figures to our exhibition, including: - Jyoti Malhotra (Editor in Chief - The Tribune) - Caroline Rowett (British Deputy High Commissioner, Chandigarh) - NPS Randhawa (Deputy Commissioner Nawanshahr) Their presence and support meant a lot to us and highlighted the importance and impact of our work. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited and encouraged our efforts. This experience has been incredibly enriching and has reaffirmed the significance of preserving and sharing our heritage. #SikhEmpire #PanjabDigitalLibrary #CulturalHeritage
