Guru Arjan Ji and Basakhi



This Sikh Guru gave up his life and suffered much torture in the heat of a desert. In his remembrance Sikhs give out cold non alcoholic drinks. I took this idea and developed a ‘juice bar’ stall but in a typical Indian stall hut one would get in India.

Photo’s were taken at the Gurdwara’s I visited in derby and Sheffield. The 5 men represent the panj pyare who were willing to give up their life and also the Nishan Sahib which symbolizes the identity of Sikhism. Choice of colour was the typical orange and blue which is commonly used as part of traditional Sikh wear.
