We are honored to announce the successful manufacture and international delivery of a custom Palki Sahib (Model HM-03) for the Sangat in Amsterdam, Netherlands. This project at Stichting Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha Nederland represents our commitment to bringing world-class Sikh craftsmanship to Gurdwaras across Europe.

Project Highlights: The HM-03 Model

This specific Palki Sahib was tailored to meet the spiritual and aesthetic needs of the Amsterdam Gurdwara:

• Dimensions: 5ft (Front) x 2ft 6inch (Depth) x 5ft (Customized Height).

• Structure: Built with first-quality Silicon Fiber, reinforced by an internal Mild Steel (MS) frame for lifelong stability.

• Finish: A brilliant, high-gloss golden finish protected by specialized lacquer, ensuring the Palki looks brand new for decades.

• Custom Jangla: We also designed and manufactured a matching Golden Stainless Steel Railing (Jangla) for the Diwan Hall to complete the royal look of the Darbar.

Rana Handicrafts International, our devotion to the Guru’s work remains unshakable. We are truly happy to finally deliver this masterpiece to the Sangat in Amsterdam. We thank the management of Stichting Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha Nederland for their immense patience and for entrusting us with this sacred task despite these global uncertainties. — Uday Veer Singh Rana (Proprietor, Rana Handicrafts International)

Why Rana Handicrafts International is the Global Leader

With a legacy dating back to 1964, Rana Handicrafts International is the first and oldest manufacturer of Silicon Fiber Gurdwara products. Here is why we are trusted by Gurdwaras in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, and Europe:

1. Built for Decades

While traditional wooden Palki Sahibs are prone to termites and warping—especially in the humid or cold climates of Europe—our Silicon Fiber structures are weatherproof. They are tested to last over decades without losing their structural integrity.

2. Maintenance-Free Golden Shine

Our products feature a unique multi-layer PU paint and glass-lacquer finish. Unlike brass or wood, our golden finish does not turn black or require frequent polishing. A simple wipe with a soft cloth is all it takes to maintain the divine glow.

3. Superior Engineering (The Internal Frame)

Unlike many competitors who sell hollow fiber shells, we reinforce every Palki Sahib and Dome with a heavy-duty Internal Steel Frame. This ensures that the Palki is load-bearing, stable, and safe for the installation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

4. Easy Global Assembly

We understand the challenges of international shipping. All our Palki Sahibs are designed in a modular format. They can be easily assembled using simple nuts and bolts. We provide detailed assembly video guides to help the local Sangat set up the Palki within hours.

5. Unbeatable Value

Our Silicon Fiber Palki Sahibs provide a majestic, royal appearance while being nearly 60% more economical than traditional marble or heavy teak wood structures.

We are proud to share the complete journey of our latest international commission: a magnificent 9ft Golden Gumbad and 6ft Khanda Sahib for Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Gurmat Vidhyala in Bristol, UK (England).

Crafted with devotion and precision by Rana Handicrafts International, this structure combines traditional Sikh architecture with modern industrial durability.

Stage 1: The Skeleton of Strength

The process begins with the construction of a heavy-duty internal Mild Steel (MS) frame structure. This frame serves as the "bones" of the dome, providing the necessary reinforcement to withstand high winds and environmental stress.

• Protection: The frame is first treated with an anti-corrosion primer.

• Finish: It is then coated in high-quality, water-resistant black paint for maximum longevity.

Stage 2: Molding and Multi-Layer Shell

Once the frame is secure, our artisans develop a multi-layer silicon fiber shell over the structure.

• The Design: The exterior features an intricate lotus petal pattern at the base, a hallmark of traditional Gumbad design.

• Refinement: The surface undergoes a "fine-rubbing" process where it is hand-sanded and smoothed to ensure a flawless foundation for the paint.

Stage 3: The Golden Radiance

After the surface is perfectly prepped, the dome enters the painting phase:

• Base Coat: A specialized primer coat is applied to the fiber shell to ensure paint adhesion.

• Gold Gilding: Professional metallic gold paint is applied in multiple layers to achieve a brilliant, sun-catching radiance.

• Weather Shielding: A final protective lacquer coating is added, making the dome water-resistant and durable enough for the UK’s climate.

Stage 4: Quality Check and Scale

Before shipping, Mr. Uday Veer Singh Rana (Proprietor) personally inspects the structure to ensure it meets our ISO 9001:2015 standards. Standing at 9 feet tall, the scale of the Gumbad is truly impressive when viewed alongside the matching 6ft Khanda Sahib.

"We are immensely proud and happy to see another one of our signature golden domes on its way to the UK, specifically for the Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Gurmat Vidhyala in Bristol. While we celebrate this achievement, we sincerely regret the unforeseen delay in shipping this time. The ongoing conflict between Iran and the USA has caused significant disruptions in raw material availability and global shipping rates, which were beyond our control. However, as the saying goes, 'all is well that ends well,' and the Gumbad is now safely en route. Also, To ensure these structures remain a radiant symbol of our faith for decades to come, I strongly recommend that all our Sikh brothers and Prabandhak Committees arrange to have their domes repainted every 3 years. Regular maintenance and a fresh coat of protective paint are essential to prolonging the life span of the fiber and keeping the golden glow of the Gumbad as brilliant as the day it was installed." - Uday Veer Singh Rana (Prop.)

Stage 5: International Shipping

To ensure safe arrival in England, the dome is carefully container-loaded for its journey. It is shipped via the Felixstowe Port, UK, ready to be installed as a landmark of faith for the Bristol Sangat.

"At Rana Handicrafts, we create high-quality Gurdwara products through a careful process of expert design, casting, and hand-finishing by trained artists. Our Palki Sahibs and Domes are superior because we never skip essential engineering. Unlike competitors who sell cheap, hollow fiber shells, we reinforce every dome with a strong MS or SS internal frame. Without this metal skeleton, domes cannot handle the physics of heat, wind, or snow, leading to cracks and costly repairs. While our quality comes at a higher price, we refuse to compromise on the safety and durability our Sikh brothers deserve." - Uday Veer Singh Rana (Prop.)

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.

Rana Handicrafts International is proud to announce the successful completion and installation of a magnificent 15-foot Golden Gumbad (Dome) at Gurdwara Sahib, Village Todarpur, located in the Hoshiarpur District of Punjab. This project stands as a testament to our commitment to blending traditional Sikh architectural aesthetics with cutting-edge material science.

Project Overview & Architectural Brilliance

The Gurdwara Sahib in Todarpur now features a centerpiece that commands attention from miles away. This isn't just an installation; it is a structural upgrade that enhances the spiritual skyline of the village.

• Dimensions: Standing at a towering 15 feet in height with a wide 9-foot diameter base, the dome provides a perfect, symmetrical silhouette to the Gurdwara structure.

• Design Philosophy: The dome features the classic "Phul" (petal) design at the base, transitioning into a smooth, elegant curve that leads to a multi-tiered Kalash and Khanda finial, symbolizing chardi kala (eternal optimism).

Engineering & Technical Excellence

At Rana Handicrafts, we believe that beauty must be backed by strength. The Todarpur project utilized our signature Multilayered High-Quality Silicon Fiber technology.

1. Reinforced MS Frame Structure: Internally, the dome is supported by a heavy-duty Mild Steel (MS) framework. This skeleton ensures the dome remains aerodynamically stable against high wind pressures common during Punjab’s monsoon and storm seasons.

2. Multilayered Silicon Fiber Skin: The outer shell is crafted from multiple layers of premium silicon fiber. Unlike traditional Gumbads made of concrete or heavy metals, our fiber technology offers:

   • Zero Rust Risk: Being non-metallic on the outside, it is immune to corrosion.

   • Thermal Insulation: It does not absorb heat like metal or concrete, keeping the structure below cooler.

3. The Golden Finish: We use a specialized, high-grade golden pigment that is UV-resistant. This ensures that the "Sone-marga" (gold-like) glow does not fade or peel under the intense Indian sun.

Why Communities Choose Rana Handicrafts Domes?

• Lightweight Engineering: At 15 feet, a concrete dome would weigh several tons, requiring massive pillars. Our silicon fiber dome significantly reduces the dead load on the building's foundation, ensuring the long-term safety of the Gurdwara structure.

• Weatherproof & Seamless: The multilayered finish is 100% waterproof. It prevents seepage—a common issue with brick-and-mortar domes—protecting the interior Palki Sahib and Darbar Hall.

• Rapid Installation: As seen in our project photos, the use of professional crane services allows us to install these massive structures with precision and speed, minimizing disruption to the Sangat.

• Low Maintenance: Just paint it after every 4-5 years and clean it regularly, it's good enough maintenance.

A Legacy of Service

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Prabandhak Committee and the Sangat of Village Todarpur (Hoshiarpur) for trusting us with this sewa. It is our honor to contribute to the grandeur of such a sacred space.

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.

Phase 1: Planning and Artistic Design

• Step 1 & 2: Our artists began with detailed hand-drawn plans. The final approved design is a grand structure measuring 12ft wide, 12ft deep, and 14ft high.

• Step 3: These drawings were given to master wood carvers who hand-carved the patterns onto MDF boards to create the very first molds.

Phase 2: Molding and Casting

• Step 4 & 5: We created high-quality silicon fiber molds. From these, we cast 4 massive pillars, 8 top sections (for both the inside and outside), and 4 inner arches (mehrabs).

• Step 6: To ensure the structure is strong and looks thick, we built a 2-layer Mild Steel (MS) frame. This frame holds the inner and outer silicon fiber shells together.

Phase 3: Refinement and Finishing

• Step 7 & 8: Every section was hand-rubbed to make the surface perfectly smooth. We applied a PU primer and used specialized putty to fill any tiny pinholes, ensuring a flawless base.

• Step 9: Once smooth, we sprayed the first coat of beautiful golden paint on every piece.

Phase 4: Assembly and Quality Testing

• Step 10 & 11: After drying under the sun, we performed a full test assembly. We used a crane to lift the heavy top section onto the pillars to check the structural strength and bolting.

• Step 12: Our team, including Uday Veer Singh Rana, took a moment to celebrate this achievement with a group photo in front of the finished structure.

Phase 5: Final Coating and Shipping

• Step 13 & 14: The Palki Sahib was disassembled so we could apply a perfect second coat of golden paint, fixing any small scratches from the assembly process.

• Step 15: Finally, a clear coat of lacquer was sprayed to give it a lasting shine and protection.

• Step 16: Each section is now being carefully packaged individually to be loaded into a container for its long journey to Indianapolis.

A Labor of Love and Devotion

Watching these videos and looking through the photos, you can see the heart and soul our team puts into every detail. From the first hand-drawn sketch to the final coat of shining gold, this Palki Sahib is more than just a structure; it is a tribute to faith and craftsmanship. We take great pride in knowing that our work will soon have a home at the Sikh Satsang of Indianapolis, serving the community for many years to come.

We hope this behind-the-scenes look shows you the care we take at Rana Handicrafts International. Whether it is carving the wood or testing the heavy pillars for strength, we ensure everything is perfect. Thank you for joining us on this four-month journey. We look forward to seeing this masterpiece standing tall in its new home very soon.
