Proposed Design for the Gurudwara Sahib at Village Gumtali
The proposed design for the Gurudwara Sahib at Village Gumtali reflects a harmonious fusion of traditional Sikh architectural principles and modern design sensibilities. The structure showcases a symmetrical elevation with a dominant central dome flanked by two smaller domes, all adorned with white and golden detailing—a hallmark of sacred Sikh architecture. The usage of curves and arches, especially around the main entrance and window frames, enhances the spiritual aura while remaining grounded in historical reverence.
The façade integrates a rhythmic pattern of arches and balustrades, establishing a visual continuity across the elevation. The Nishan Sahib (Sikh flag) is prominently placed at the front-right corner, reinforcing religious identity and tradition. Elements such as marble-effect cladding, jharokha-style windows, and the inclusion of verses from the Gurbani inscribed on the outer walls reflect a deep cultural and devotional significance. The grand staircase to the left and open verandah corridors provide functional movement while adding ceremonial character to the overall design.
