Guru Nanak Dev Ji


The Gurus are not incarnation of God and they are not worshipped.They,are instead,simply held in very high esteem as especially enlightened spiritual guides.It is not unusual for sikh holy places,sikh homes,and sikh Gurdwaras to have pictures of Gurus hanging on the walls.
This aluminium repousse is of The Sikh Guru 'Guru Nanak Dev Ji',the founder of sikh religion.Having spread the words of reform throughout his lifetime,Guru Nanak Dev ji successfully challenged and questioned the existing religious tenants and laid the foundation of Sikhism.

Embossing of Metal


Art is involved in every sphere of human life-art of handling various situations,art of being perfectionist,art of acting ,dancing,mastering various other talents and all of above art of living.......so art is so much assimilated in our life that we can't even think of life without it.The art i am talking about here in my blog is the art of transforming a non-alive metal to an alive product-putting the life into the flat metal.The word 'Metal'- first thing that comes to mind on hearing this is an impression of a hard lifeless item but when 'Art'is associated with this-it becomes the soul,mind and eye soothing creation.
This design is embossed on copper sheet in which 'OM' and 'GANPATI JI' are assimilated in a way depicting the assimilation of our 'SOUL' with 'GOD'.
