The Tribune correspondent Neha Saini and photojournalist Sunil Kumar take you through an aesthetic journey by capturing art works that add to the visual beauty of the holy city. Here’s a sneak peek into the abstract world of creativity.
Janamsakhi of Tera Tera
The art on life of Guru Nanak Dev has been displayed at the Vice-Chancellor’s office at GNDU. It’s 12 ft in height and based on ‘Janamsakhi of Tera Tera’, which is designed by city-based artist Sumeet Dua, and conceptualised in collaboration with Arvinder Chamak. It has been made in ‘Nanakshahi’ brick structure, with graphic representation of Tera (13) and jute bags of various grains displayed with a ‘takadi’ (scale). It was installed during Art Festival, which was organised on the eve of the 550th Parkash Purb of Guru Nanak Dev at Dera Baba Nanak.
