HISTORY OF BHAI GARJA SINGH JI AND BHAI BOTA SINGH JI

Bhai Garja Singh Ji and Bhai Bota Singh Ji were two prominent Sikh warriors who played a significant role in the history of Punjab during the late 18th century. They are often remembered for their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to Sikh principles.

Garja Singh Ji and Bota Singh Ji were born in the village of Patti in present-day Punjab, India. They came from humble backgrounds and were deeply inspired by the teachings of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the tenth Guru of the Sikhs, who had established the Khalsa Panth—a brotherhood of dedicated Sikh warriors.

During that time, Punjab was under the rule of the Mughal Empire, which imposed numerous oppressive policies on the Sikh community. The Sikh faith, with its emphasis on equality, justice, and resistance against tyranny, inspired Garja Singh Ji and Bota Singh Ji to rise against the oppressive regime.

Garja Singh Ji and Bota Singh Ji became leaders of a band of Sikh warriors and initiated various acts of resistance against the Mughal authorities. They targeted tax collectors and officials who were known for their corruption and exploitation of the common people.

One of their most renowned acts of bravery was the looting of the treasury of Sirhind, a prominent Mughal city. Garja Singh Ji and Bota Singh Ji, along with their fellow warriors, planned a daring raid and successfully infiltrated the city. They managed to seize a substantial amount of wealth and distributed it among the poor and needy, symbolizing their commitment to social justice.

The Mughal authorities were furious and launched a massive manhunt to capture Garja Singh Ji and Bota Singh Ji. Despite the danger, the Sikh warriors continued their resistance activities, challenging the oppressive regime at every turn. Their actions inspired many others to join the cause and stand up against tyranny.

However, their fight for justice and freedom eventually led to their capture. Garja Singh Ji and Bota Singh Ji were arrested and brought before the Mughal authorities, who subjected them to severe torture and humiliation in an attempt to break their spirit.

Even in the face of unimaginable suffering, Garja Singh Ji and Bota Singh Ji remained steadfast in their faith and refused to renounce their Sikh identity. They embraced martyrdom with courage and dignity, becoming symbols of Sikh resistance against oppression.

The sacrifices of Garja Singh Ji and Bota Singh Ji had a profound impact on the Sikh community and their struggle for freedom. They exemplified the principles of Sikhism, including bravery, compassion, and the pursuit of justice. Their legacy continues to inspire generations of Sikhs and serves as a reminder of the importance of standing up against injustice.

Today, Garja Singh Ji and Bota Singh Ji are remembered as iconic figures in Sikh history. Their names are etched in the hearts of Sikhs worldwide, symbolizing the indomitable spirit of the Khalsa and the unwavering commitment to upholding righteousness.

HOW ARE FIBER GLASS SCULPTURES & GURDWARA DOMES MADE

1. Design and Planning: Begin by developing a concept a sculpture. We sketch out the design and plan the dimensions and proportions. Consider the size, shape, and any intricate details you want to incorporate.
2. Armature Construction: Build a supporting structure, known as an armature, to provide stability and shape to the sculpture. It can be made from materials such as metal wire, MS Framing or foam. The armature should match the intended shape and size of the final sculpture.
3. Sculpting the Form: Apply a sculpting material, such as clay or foam, onto the armature to create the basic shape and form of the sculpture. Use sculpting tools to refine the details and achieve the desired texture and surface quality.
4. Mold Making: Once the sculpting is complete, create a mold of the sculpture. The mold will be used to produce multiple copies of the sculpture in fiberglass. There are different types of molds, such as one-piece molds or multi-piece molds, depending on the complexity of the sculpture.
   

   

   

5. Mold Preparation: Prepare the mold for the fiberglass application. Apply a mold release agent to ensure the fiberglass doesn’t stick to the mold surface. The mold release can be a wax, silicone spray, or other suitable materials.

   

6. Fiberglass Application: Cut fiberglass mat or cloth into manageable pieces. Mix a batch of fiberglass resin according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Apply a layer of resin onto the mold surface using a brush or roller. Place the fiberglass mat or cloth onto the wet resin and saturate it with more resin, ensuring complete coverage and removal of air bubbles. Repeat this process, adding additional layers for strength and thickness as needed.
   

   

   

7. Curing: Allow the fiberglass to cure and harden. The curing time will depend on the specific resin used and the environmental conditions. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer to ensure proper curing.
8. Demolding and Finishing: Once the fiberglass has cured, carefully remove the sculpture from the mold. Trim any excess fiberglass and sand the surface to achieve a smooth finish. Repair any imperfections or air bubbles with additional layers of resin and fiberglass.
9. Detailing and Painting: Add any desired details or surface texture to the sculpture using additional sculpting materials or paints. Use appropriate paints or coatings to achieve the desired color and finish. Apply a clear protective coating to enhance durability and weather resistance, if necessary.
