One of the best emotions that we as mankind have cherished is ‘Valor’. Many of the communities around the world have revolutionized themselves with it and even amplified it with ‘prestige’ and ‘honor’, but the most exceptional evolution that has even inspired the world from time to time, happened in Punjab. Deg Tegh Fateh- Sikh Art beautifully portrays the saga of this evolution.
The teaching of Guru Nanak, which are epitome of spiritualism and Kindness, has been the driving force behind it.
