At Rana Handicrafts International, we are honored to announce the successful completion of a truly magnificent project: the creation of a massive and beautiful Palki Sahib. This specialized Palki Sahib design was created specifically for the Diwan Hall at the Sikh Satsang of Indianapolis in the USA.
Our team drew deep inspiration from the world-famous and iconic Palki Sahib design found at Gurdwara Dukh Niwaran Sahib in Ludhiana to ensure a regal and sacred appearance. Known by its unique model name, Code: PK12, this masterpiece is now fully manufactured and prepared for its journey to its new home.
Even though the current global situation and international conflicts have created major challenges for the shipping industry, we are doing everything possible to manage the delivery. We are working tirelessly to ensure this sacred consignment reaches our clients in Indianapolis on time and in perfect condition.
This project was a labor of love that took four months of dedicated craftsmanship to complete. Below, we share the detailed, step-by-step journey of how our artists transformed a simple vision into this breathtaking Palki Sahib.
