Dasuya (also known as Dasua), a serene town in the Hoshiarpur district of Punjab, India, recently witnessed the installation of a magnificent 12ft diameter dome along with four corner Palki Sahibs at its revered Gurdwara Sahib. This significant project was undertaken by us at Rana Handicrafts International, showcasing our unparalleled craftsmanship and dedication to serving the Sikh community worldwide.
Project Overview
The authorities of Gurdwara Sahib at Dasuya approached us with the vision of a dome that would not only be a spiritual centerpiece but also a visual landmark visible from across the town. They required a beautifully designed 12ft diameter MS-reinforced dome to be installed atop a towering 50ft high burj (minaret). Alongside this, they needed four intricately designed corner Palki Sahibs to complement the grandeur of the main dome.
Our team immediately rose to the challenge, combining traditional artistry with modern engineering to create a structure that is both aesthetically stunning and structurally robust.
Craftsmanship and Manufacturing
The dome was meticulously crafted by our highly skilled workers at our state-of-the-art workshop under the supervision of Uday Veer Singh Rana, Proprietor of Rana Handicrafts International. Key highlights of the dome’s construction include:
- Material Excellence: A 7mm thick shell of high-quality silicon fiber was reinforced with an MS (mild steel) frame structure to ensure durability and resistance to extreme weather conditions.
- Precision Design: The dome was crafted with exceptional attention to detail, ensuring its beauty and longevity.
In addition to the dome, four corner Palki Sahibs were manufactured in a bright golden finish, matching the dome’s regal appearance. These were carefully packed and delivered to the Gurdwara Sahib via a transport truck.
Installation Challenges and Triumphs
Once the dome was delivered to Dasuya, the installation posed a unique challenge. The narrow approach to the site made it difficult for a large crane to access the area. After significant effort and coordination, the crane was brought to the site, and the installation process began.
Before the dome’s installation, an Ardas (prayer) was conducted, and the local community gathered in large numbers to witness this historic moment. As a mark of respect and devotion, flowers were showered on the dome, symbolizing blessings and good faith.
With precision and teamwork, the dome was carefully lifted and secured atop the 50ft burj. Following this, the Kalash (finial) and Khanda (symbol of Sikh faith) were successfully installed. A final coat of golden paint was applied to enhance its brilliance, followed by a protective lacquer spray to ensure its shine for years to come.
We recommended the Gurdwara committee to repaint the dome every five years to maintain its pristine condition and ensure it lasts for decades.
A Spectacle for the Community
The installation was a moment of pride and joy for the people of Dasuya. A professional photographer and drone operator captured stunning visuals of the event, showcasing the intricate details and grandeur of the dome. The entire town celebrated as this architectural masterpiece took its place atop the burj, becoming a symbol of faith and unity.
