Guru Arjan Sahib, the Fifth Nanak, conceived the idea of creating a central place of worship for the Sikhs and he himself designed the architecture of Sri Harmandir Sahib. Earlier the planning to excavate the holy tank (Amritsar or Amrit Sarovar ) was chalked out by Guru Amardas Sahib, the Third Nanak, but it was executed by Guru Ramdas Sahib under the supervision of Baba Budha ji. The land for the site was acquired by the earlier Guru Sahibs on payment or free of cost from the Zamindars (landlords) of native villages. The plan to establish a town settlement was also made. Therefore, the construction work on the Sarovar(the tank) and the town started simultaneously in 1570. The work on both projects completed in 1577 A.D

.

Guru Arjan Sahib got its foundation laid by a muslim saint Hazrat Mian Mir ji of Lahore on 1st of Magh, 1645 Bikrmi Samvat(December,1588). The construction work was directly supervised by Guru Arjan Sahib himself and he was assisted by the prominent Sikh personalities like Baba Budha ji, Bhai Gurdas ji, Bhai Sahlo ji and many other devoted Sikhs.

The Darshani Deori (an arch) stands at the shore end of the causeway. The door frame of the arch is about 10ft in height and 8ft 6inches in breath. The door panes are decorated with artistic style. It opens on to the causeway or bridge that leads to the main building of Sri Harmandir Sahib. It is 202 feet in length and 21 feet in width.

The bridge is connected with the 13 feet wide ‘Pardakshna’ (circumambulatory path). It runs round the main shrine and it leads to the ‘Har ki Paure’ (steps of God). On the first floor of ‘Har ki Paure’, there is continuous reading of Guru Granth Sahib.

The main structure of Sri Harmandir Sahib, functionally as well as technically is a three-storied one. The front, which faces the bridge, is decorated with repeated cusped arches and the roof of the first floor is at the height of the 26 feet and 9 inches.

 In India there are different forms of antique jewelry like kundan, minakari, filigree, jadau and many. These antique jewels were also studded with precious stones like emeralds, rubies and jade, thus making the jewels very unique and expensive. Antique jewels are not sold anymore with retailers, but are sold at auctions and at antique trinket shops at exorbitant rates. These rare jewels are attractive to behold. However, many jewelers today imitate such jewelry and try to pass them off as antique jewelry.

 Today jewelers produce jewelry with antique finishes. Nevertheless people, who value the exclusiveness of antique ornaments, go for the original jewels.

Tanhayi – Kuch ankahe jazbaat

Hi Guys, I back again with my poem “Tanhayi “ dedicated to all the lovers . Hope so You all will enjoy reading this.http://infinitelinkz.com/tanhayi-kuch-ankahe-jazbaat/

Jab koi sath nahi hota mere,

Jab bilkul tanhayi hoti hai,

Tab tu ajata hai mere pass,

Na pucho kaisi haalat hoti hai.

Aankhain band kroon to tu nazar ata hai har taraf,

kholoon to tera khyal trhpaye hai,

Koi aisa bhi hata hai jiski har pal yaad staye hai,

Na jane kaisi  tanhayi hai jo hmko achi lgti hai,

Tujhse milne ko o jana har pal nazar trsti hai

Na puchna tum hmse kitna tumhe yaad kiya,

Ye kehna bhi to mushkil hai,

humne sab shamon ko teri yaadon mein barbad kiya,

Ab to aisa lgta hai tu dur nhi mere paas hai,

jahan jahan bhi mein dekhoon bs tera ehsaas hai,

majburi

Jab chahe aankhein bnd kroon to tera chehra dikh jata hai,

Aisa bhi hota hai aksar tu dur khrha muskurata hai.

Tu to jane hai tere bin ik pal bhi mujhko chain na aye,

Tu hi btla de fir kyun mujhko tu yoon trhpaye.
