More Contributions for Kar Sewa Gurudwara Baba Atal Rai

Sangat from Overseas and India is contributing to the ongoing sewa at Gurdwara Baba Atal Rai. The Sewa has progressed over the last year in various stages. The whole court yard marble was replaced and the whole building was cleaned and whitewashed with top quality paint [see previous posts for updates]. Now the sewa is being carried for fixtures and fitments including total replacement of old doors. The doors of Baba Atal Rai have not been replaced since the time of Raja Ranjeet Singh. The new doors being installed use top quality wood and are being very laboriously hand crafted to original designs. The main doors will be silver plated. More than 100 kg of silver is estimated to be required to complete the sewa. Many Sangat members have voluntarily come forward with contributions towards this project. Contribution can be in form of Silver metal or cash so the kar sewaks can procure the silver required to complete the sewa. Cash can be deposited directly using bank details on the contributions section of this website.

Silver Contribution at Gurdwara Baba Atal Rai Sahib

A Sangat member voluntary presented 1.25 kilo grams of Silver for the silver plating work for front Doors at Gurudwara Baba Atal Rai Sahib. This is a once in life time opportunity for contribution to major restoration work at this historic gurudwara sahib. Last time the doors were installed and decorated was during the rule of Raja Ranjit Singh (approx 200 years ago).

Sangat interested in contributing to ongoing historic Silver Door Restoration can send funds directly to the bank details on this website [see sewa contributions]

Sewa for Silver is also being accepted as actual silver metal to be used in plating the doors.
