Description

Punjab, and especially Sikh art, has taken multiple forms ranging from scriptural manuscripts, floral adornments to illustrations and illuminations.

This family collection showcases varied forms of jewellery, textiles, arms, coinage, along with construction of religious places and monuments.

Murals and frescoes, paintings from Mughal, Punjabi and Pahari styles as well as calligraphy; all enhance the culture and add to its beauty.

In addition, foreign artists such as Emily Eden, Shoefft, Soltikoff and other Europeans have left their imprint.

The Khanuja Family believes encouragement of art is an essential element in enriching cultural heritage, upliftment of the human spirit, which eventually results in understanding, tolerance and interconnecting us all.

This collection is a labour of love which started with an interest in listening to the history of Punjab from elders and subsequently reading about it.

Over time with the help of Dr P Khanuja's daughter, Jasleen it evolved into this expensive passion of collecting artifacts and paintings over the last 14 years.
