The Khalsa Heritage Center is a new museum of the Sikh people located on a 100-acre site in the holy city of Anandpur Sahib, Punjab, India. Designed by Boston based Safdie Architects, the new museum assembly is dedicated to the Sikh people, commemorating 500 years of history besides the 300th anniversary of Khalsa, scriptures written by the prominent and final guru, Gobind Singh, founder of the modern Sikh faith. Overlooking the adjoining town, the 100-acre site is divided by a gorge and interconnected with a pedestrian bridge.
The two complexes straddle either side of a ravine further are connected by a ceremonial bridge. The smaller, western complex functions that respond directly to the needs of the people. It is organized around an opening piazza and contains a 400-seat auditorium to host seminars and cultural events, two-story library open to vistas of water gardens to house rare archival materials, books, journals as well as audio visual resources, and temporary presentation galleries.
On the eastern half of the site, galleries with permanent displays are housed within a series of five concave peaked roofs prefacing the imposing Himalayan Mountains. Each gallery within the cluster displays one of the five virtues symbolic of the Sikh heritage. The total construction cost of this project, including exhibits, is estimated at US $56.00 millions.
