Rana Handicrafts International is proud to announce the successful supply and installation of a magnificent new Gurdwara Sahib Gumbad (Dome) in Penang, Malaysia. This project marks another milestone in our mission to provide the global Sikh Sangat with architectural elements that reflect the glory and sanctity of the Gurdwara Sahib.
Engineering Excellence Meets Devotion
This stunning golden dome is a masterpiece of modern engineering and traditional aesthetics. To ensure it stands the test of time and weather, it was engineered with the highest quality materials:
-
Premium Material: Built using first-quality, multi-layered silicon fiber.
-
Structural Integrity: Reinforced with a heavy-duty MS (Mild Steel) frame structure.
-
Substantial Presence: The dome carries an approximate weight of over 1,000kg, ensuring stability and durability.
The installation process in Penang was a sight to behold, as the massive structure was carefully hoisted into place, instantly transforming the skyline of the local Gurdwara Sahib with its radiant golden finish.
Why Rana Handicrafts Domes are the Preferred Choice Worldwide
As the foremost supplier of high-quality, weather-resistant domes globally, Rana Handicrafts International understands the unique requirements of religious architecture. Our domes are specifically designed to withstand varied climates—from the humid tropical weather of Malaysia to the harsh winters of North America.
Built to Last: Our silicon fiber domes are incredibly resilient. To maintain the "newly installed" brilliance and luster of the gold finish, we recommend that our Sikh brothers and management committees schedule a professional repainting only once every 4 to 5 years. Outside of this simple maintenance, these domes are designed for decades of service.
