Girl power: Young Sikh poet makes history, honoured by Akal Takht
Secures a place in the India Book of Records for composing eight poems on the spot
Giani Kuldip Singh Gargaj, officiating Jathedar of the Akal Takht and Jathedar of Takht Kesgarh Sahib, on Thursday honoured 18-year-old Gursharan Kaur Bandala, who set a unique record by writing eight poems in just one and a half minutes.
She secured a place in the India Book of Records for composing eight poems on the spot within a minute and a half — becoming the first Gursikh and turbaned girl in the globe to achieve such feat.
She was honoured at the Akal Takht secretariat. She was presented with a siropa (robe of honour) and a Sri Sahib (sword). On the occasion, Gursharan Kaur also presented the Jathedar with a compilation of her poems.
