Choosing Sikh paintings for your home is different from buying ordinary wall art. You are choosing an image of the Gurus, the Sahibzade or the Shaheeds that your family will live alongside, so the questions people ask are usually about respect, permanence and provenance rather than just colour and size.
This page answers those questions directly. Every artwork referred to here is drawn by hand by Gurjinder Singh Nagi and printed to order as archival giclee. If your question is not covered, the contact page reaches the studio.
Choosing and placing Sikh art at home
What are Sikh paintings for the home, and where should I hang them?
Sikh paintings for the home are devotional or historical artworks depicting the Gurus, the Sahibzade, the Khalsa and the Shaheeds. Most families hang them in the living room, the entrance hallway, or a dedicated prayer space. A common practice is to place Guru portraits at or above eye level, on a wall that is not shared with a bathroom, so the image is always viewed respectfully.
What is the difference between the Sikh Art and 1984 Art collections?
The Sikh Art collection holds devotional portraits of the Gurus, the Sahibzade and the Khalsa. The 1984 Art collection is a memorial body of work about the events of 1984 and the Shaheeds remembered from that period. They are kept separate because one is an act of devotion and the other is an act of remembrance, and most people are looking for one or the other rather than both.
What sizes are available, and can I order the artwork framed?
Each artwork is offered in a choice of sizes, either rolled or gallery-framed. You choose the size and finish on the product page and the price updates as you select. Rolled prints ship in a rigid tube and framed pieces ship in a corner-protected crate. If you are unsure, measure the wall first: a portrait reads best when it occupies roughly two-thirds of the width of the furniture beneath it.
How the artwork is made
Are these original hand-drawn artworks or digital reproductions?
Every artwork begins as an original hand illustration by Gurjinder Singh Nagi. Nothing is AI-generated and nothing is traced from photographs. What you receive is an archival print of that original drawing, produced only after you order, so the artist keeps the original while your print is made fresh.
What paper and inks are used, and how long will a print last?
Prints are produced as giclee on archival cotton rag paper using pigment inks. Pigment ink on cotton rag is rated for well over 100 years of colour life when displayed away from direct sunlight, which is why galleries and museums use the same combination. Ordinary dye-based home printing fades within a few years by comparison. Keep any print out of direct sun and it will outlast the wall it hangs on.
Can I request a custom or commissioned Sikh artwork?
Commission enquiries are welcome through the contact page. Because each piece is drawn by hand over several weeks of reference work, commissions are accepted in limited numbers and the timeline is agreed before any work begins.
Ordering, shipping and delivery
Do you ship outside India, and what does delivery cost?
Yes. Orders ship worldwide with tracking, and prices are shown in your local currency where supported. Shipping within India is free. International delivery is calculated at checkout before you pay, and every parcel is tracked and insured. Full terms are on the shipping policy page.
How long does an order take to arrive?
Because each print is made to order rather than held in stock, production takes a few working days before dispatch. Delivery time after that depends on your location and the courier. You receive a tracking link as soon as the parcel leaves the studio.
What if the artwork arrives damaged?
Every parcel is insured in transit. If a print arrives damaged, contact the studio with a photograph and the order number and a replacement is arranged. The refund policy sets out the full process and timeframes.
