The facility underway is being built over 10-acre land at Patna Sahib with an estimated cost of INR 50 crores. Prakash Punj will have an auditorium, galleries, and two exhibition halls apart from other facilities for visitors and tourists.
The life of the Sikh Guru will be recreated through an array of graphics, paintings, plaque, sculptures along with audiovisuals. The articles including his pen, costumes, and weapons, will go on display at the museum and the theme park coming up at Prakash Punj.
One of the exhibition halls at the complex will be devoted to the life of all the Sikh Gurus and the other will focus exclusively on Guru Gobind Singh. “It would also be interesting to witness his costumes, the pen he used and the weapons which he used during the battles,” the minister said.
General secretary of the Takht Sri Harmandir Sahib Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee, Mahendra Pal Singh Dhillon stated that a huge auditorium with the capacity to accommodate nearly 900 persons is also under construction at the three-storied complex.
“One can witness here the miniature structures of the Gurudwaras of Nanded Sahib, Ponta Sahib, Takhta Sri Keshgarh Sahib, Takhta Shri Hemkund Sahib and Takhta Shri Patna Sahib, which were created at major five places related to the 10th Guru.,” Dhillon added.
The project was supposed to be ready by 2020 but was delayed due to the global pandemic.
