Sikh Museum

A Weekend trip to a place near the city, rich with culture and heritage of Sikhism can be a great idea.
Sikh Museum also known as Sikh Ajaibghar located in Mohali is the brainchild of Parwinder Singh, a former scooter Mechanic who dreamt of spreading awareness and educating people about the Sikh heritage.

To offer the maximum recreational as well as educational value of this Museum, Parwinder Singh, the founder and CEO has displayed self-made sculptures presenting the richness of Sikh history. Various eminent incidents from the Sikh history are portrayed using the fiber-glass made sculptures. The Museum has 12 sets of sculptures on display.

The sculptures include:
•         Bhai Kanhaiya Ji
•         Banda Singh Bahadur Ji and His three years old son Uday’s martyrdom
•         Shahidi Bhai Taru Singh Ji
•         Shahidi Bhai Mati Das Ji
•         Shahidi Bhai Mani Singh Ji
•         Shaheed Baba Deep Singh Ji
•         Bhai Subegh Singh Ji and His son Shahbaaz Singh Ji’s martyrdom
•         Sardad Hari Singh Nalua
•         Sher-e-Punjab Maharaja Ranjit Singh

This museum was set up by Sikh Heritage and Culture Society. The Founder President of this society, Parwinder Singh has been designing these sculptures since twelve years. He has been taking care of this museum solely. In the year 2005, this museum was located on Landran road and now it has been re-located to Balongi Village in Mohali. The museum is almost 4.4 Kms away from the Mohali Bus Station.
