We are proud to share details of a prestigious project where one of the foremost contractors in Bihar entrusted Rana Handicrafts International to manufacture and commission a magnificent dome for the Sikh Library, built through the collaborative efforts of the Sikh Sangat and the Government of Bihar.

Project Highlights & Specifications

  • Structure & Craftsmanship: We manufactured and installed a high-quality, multi-layered 14ft diameter gumbad specially designed for the Gurdwara Sahib library building.

  • Reinforcement & Installation: The dome is heavily reinforced with a robust MS (Mild Steel) frame structure and securely installed via precision welding on top of the building.

  • Finish & Color: The dome is finished in Polyurethane 8561 OAK Leaf from Asian Paint, giving it an elegant and seamless appearance.

  • Maintenance Recommendation: True to our commitment to long-lasting quality, we have advised the client to maintain the finish by repainting the dome every 3 to 4 years using a competent professional painter.

Final Thoughts & Visuals

The finished structure looks truly majestic, significantly enhancing the overall architectural appeal of the library. While we personally feel a 20ft diameter gumbad would have made an even grander statement given the scale of the building, the 14ft installation looks exceptionally stunning and fits the site wonderfully.

Be sure to watch the featured video in this post to see the dome in action, along with a complete photo gallery below illustrating every stage of the process—from initial manufacturing to final on-site installation.
