Amritsar, Oct. 26 -- Situated on the first floor near the main Clock Tower entrance (Darshani Deori) along the parikarma (circumambulatory path) of Harmandar Sahib (Golden Temple), the Central Sikh Museum (Kendriya Sikh Ajaibghar) operates far beyond the scope of a traditional exhibition space. Spanning about 6,000 square feet across seven main halls, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC)-managed museum functions as the official archive of Sikh martyrdom, resistance, and community contribution. Inclusion within its galleries represents the highest form of recognition bestowed by the Panth (the Sikh community).
