Apart from being the second ‘white city’ of India, Anandpur Sahib is set to get the “world’s tallest” Nishan-e-Khalsa (symbol of Khalsa order) this week. The 70-foot engineering marvel will be installed this week to mark the city’s 350th foundation year.
Weighing over 2,700kg, the structure is made of corrosion-resistant high quality steel. It took a Moga-based engineering firm around six months to manufacture the symbol, that is to be installed at Panj Pyare Chowk of the town. Anandpur Sahib will host three-day celebrations from June 17 to mark 350th year of its founding. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to attend the celebrations. The city was founded by ninth Sikh master Guru Teg Bahadur in 1665 while his son, 10th Sikh master Guru Gobind Singh. founded the “Khalsa” at this very place in 1699.
