Gurudwara Sahib
From an architectural perspective, the proposed design of the Gurudwara Sahib in Fatehpur, Tehsil Nakodar (Jalandhar), reflects traditional Sikh religious architecture with a modernized interpretation. The structure is symmetrical, embodying harmony and balance—key principles in Sikh architecture. The central dome, a prominent feature, is flanked by smaller domes, emphasizing the building’s spiritual center. The use of white with subtle blue accents adds a serene and pure aesthetic, enhancing the spiritual ambiance of the religious site.
The façade features intricate jharokha-style windows and arches, contributing to both aesthetic appeal and ventilation. The parapet wall is adorned with repetitive Khanda motifs, symbolizing the Sikh faith and unifying the design. The combination of domed pavilions, multifoil arches, and chhatris gives the Gurudwara a timeless spiritual character, while the landscaped garden in the front introduces an element of tranquility and order, creating a peaceful entry experience for devotees.
