Anandpur Sahib, April 11
Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann today dedicated the renovated Guru Teg Bahadur Museum to people. He exhorted the people to uphold and emulate the high ideals of secularism and humanitarianism embodied by the Ninth Sikh Guru.
Addressing a gathering after inspecting the ongoing work at Panj Pyara Park, he said the Ninth Guru, who founded the holy town of Anandpur Sahib, was an epitome of socialism and secularism as he sacrificed his life for the sake of preserving human rights in the country.
The CM said the museum had been re-dedicated to the people after equipping it with latest technology and audio-visual presentation of its content. Earlier the museum showcased the Guru’s life and teachings only through paintings displayed on its walls, devoid of any light effects and audio-visual presentation. The renovation work of the museum has been completed at a cost of Rs 2 crore.
The museum now showcases teachings and the supreme sacrifice made by Guru Teg Bahadur in a chronological manner with the latest technology projection system using 2D motion and animation videos, synchronised lighting and running commentary. A mobile app has also been developed with which a visitor can watch and listen to the videos and commentary using a mobile phone.
