Architecture of Sikh Shrines & Gurdwaras in Pakistan - A new book by Samia Karamat of Lhore

Architecture of Sikh Shrines & Gurdwaras  in Pakistan 

A new book by Samia Karamat of Lhore



This comprehensive study of some of the forgotten sites of the Sikh legacy across Pakistan provides a glimpse of the erstwhile architectural expertise. It evokes a strong sense of a longing for embrace.

Amardeep Singh, author of 'LOST HERITAGE The Sikh Legacy in Pakistan' and 'THE QUEST CONTINUES, LOST HERITAGE The Sikh Legacy in Pakistan'

Architect Samia Karamat has completed a valuable study of several well-known and not so well-known Sikh religious and community buildings sited in Pakistan Punjab. That several of the buildings she so painstakingly describes are now close to collapse underscores the value of her efforts, both for scholars and enthusiasts today, and for those in the future whose actions will determine whether these important Sikh sites will be cared for properly, as they must. Samia's book is genuinely a work of seva, carried out with skill and generosity of vision.
Professor William Glover,  Department of History, University of Michigan. USA

The book brings to focus information that is critical for scholars interested in the study of sacred Sikh geography and history. A welcome addition to the budding field of Sikh architecture and heritage, one cannot help but be grateful to the author for her hard and painstaking labor.

Gurinder Singh Mann   Global Institute for Sikh Studies, New York USA.
