On Smallpox Eradication Day, sharing a photo from the early 1900s of the Smallpox Vaccination Program carried out by the Public Health Department, Panjab. We stand here today because of the suffering and dedication of our elders.

We often define heritage by what was built or done. But it is also in the paths not taken and the dreams we carry. They deserve the same protection as our tangible past.

Celebrating World Heritage Day!

Lies and false propaganda are part & parcel of every war. Sharing a newspaper from Panjab, reporting on World War II in October 1940.

Celebrating the 558th year of the Nanakshahi Calendar with this blueprint of a 100-year-old pocket watch designed by Sri Guru Nanak Sahi Karkhana, Ludhiana, which probably was never crafted.

The Watch displays Days, Weeks, Months, Hours, Directions and Dates, arranged in concentric circles. Together, they give insight into the gradual changes of the Cosmos. The first circle shows the 7 Days of the week, followed by 12 Months in the second circle. The third wheel shows the 12 hours of the day with a 360 Degree Compass at the bottom. The dates are displayed on the outermost circle. Gurbani, an integral part of our life, embellishes its circumference.
