THE STORY

Panja sahib is one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Sikhs, located in Hasan Abdal, Pakistan. The site is named after the word "Panja," which means "hand," referring to the handprint of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism, on a rock.

According to Sikh tradition, during one of his journeys, Guru Nanak and his companion, Bhai Mardana, visited the area. A local saint, Wali Qandhari, refused them water from a spring he controlled. In response, Guru Nanak miraculously caused a stream to flow by lifting a rock. When Wali Qandhari pushed a boulder down to stop the stream, Guru Nanak stopped it with his hand, leaving an imprint that is still visible today.

Bhai Mardana, the devoted companion and musician of Guru Nanak, is  shown  in the artwork. Wali Qandhari is  depicted in the background, showcasing his astonishment or opposition, which contrasts with Guru Nanak's calm and divine demeanor.
The artwork symbolizes the divine power and miracles performed by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. The handprint on the rock is a testament to his spiritual authority and the protection he offers to his followers.

Guru Nanak's act of providing water to the thirsty Bhai Mardana and other followers signifies his compassion and selfless service. This theme is central to Sikh teachings, emphasizing the importance of helping others.

The image of Guru Nanak stopping the boulder signifies overcoming obstacles through faith and divine support. It inspires believers to trust in divine assistance during challenging times.
