“The Arts of the Sikh Kingdoms” captures the grandeur and spiritual depth of Sikh heritage through an extraordinary exhibition originally curated by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1999 to mark the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Khalsa. Enthralling thousands of visitors across London, San Francisco, and Toronto, the exhibit showcased royal treasures, vibrant paintings, and martial traditions from the era of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and beyond. This richly illustrated catalogue, expanded for the Toronto edition with over forty Canadian additions, serves as a permanent record of that historic moment. It celebrates not only the artistry of the Sikh kingdoms but also the collective pride, knowledge, and hospitality of the global Sikh community, who helped bring the exhibit to life.
