The construction of this municipality, the brainchild of renowned modernist architect Le Corbusier, born of his utopian dream of an avant-garde city, symbolized the determination of India to move forward into the contemporary world. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInstead of a “vertical city,” Chandigarh was organized as a horizontal grid with broad avenues, residential neighborhoods, green spaces, medical facilities, schools, temples, shops, sports grounds, and an artificial lake. Le Corbusier designed most of the infrastructure, highlighting large volumes through a bold use of raw concrete. Adapting his architectural plans to the regional climate, Le Corbusier provided protection against the sun and the monsoon rains while facilitating air circulation with vented shutters and large terraces. In close collaboration with his illustrious cousin, Pierre Jeanneret supervised the manufacture of numerous articles of furniture for public and private buildings, using wood from the forest-clearing necessitated by the vast undertaking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecently, record prices achieved at auction for these pieces have brought awareness of this great project and its creators to a broader public.

Fifteen renowned scholars contributed essays describing the passion and vision of Narinder and Satinder Kapany in assembling this unparalleled assemblage of great Sikh art, some of which has been displayed in exhibitions around the globe. The Kapanys’ legacy of philanthropic work includes establishing the Sikh Foundation (now celebrating its 50th year) and university endowments for Sikh studies.

Every stitch once placed on the fabric tells a story, a story that comes crafted in emotions taking the form of motifs. Phulkari from Punjab: Embroidery in Transition is the outcome of the authors’ quest in search of these stories, their sojourns to the villages and by lanes of Punjab that are home to this form of craft. Meticulously researched, with text and pictures that bring to life the nearly lost craft, the book traces the history of Phulkari through the ages: the craft, the decline, the revival. It highlights the agonies of lost finesse and compulsions of commoditization that the practitioners of the art shared with the authors. And on a positive note, it shares instances of revival and innovation, narrates the robustness with which Phulkari has re-entered the imagination of designers. The book is not a mere chronicle of Phulkari embroidery but a lived experience that spanned over seven years. Stitch craft and its depiction is only one aspect of the narratives; while the canvas inter alia encapsulates rituals that sustain traditions, markets that process the craft, connoisseurs eager to conserve and institutions responsible for its sustenance. The book is a source of inspiration for enterprising students of craft, institutions teaching art, craft, culture and history as also a befitting tribute to a distinct cultural tradition.

This family collection showcases varied forms of jewelry, textiles, arms, coinage, along with construction of religious places and monuments. Murals and frescoes, paintings from Mughal, Punjabi and Pahari styles as well as calligraphy; all enhance the culture and add to its beauty. In addition, foreign artists such as Emily Eden, Shoefft, Soltikoff and other Europeans have left their imprint. The Khanuja Family believes encouragement of art is an essential element in enriching cultural heritage, upliftment of the human spirit, which eventually results in understanding, tolerance and interconnecting us all. This collection is a labor of love which started with an interest in listening to the history of Punjab from elders and subsequently reading about it. Over time with the help of Dr P Khanuja's daughter, Jasleen it evolved into this expensive passion of collecting artifacts and paintings over the last 14 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 tabindex=\"0\" class=\"section-faq__title accordion__title rq-hide-metafiled-emptytemplate--14756991336532__shipping is-open\" data-mce-tabindex=\"0\"\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 in x 11.5 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 432 Pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrations:\u003c\/strong\u003e 840 color\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-accordion-body=\"\" class=\"section__body accordion__body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list-holder\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list faq-list--2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte faq-list__item-content c99371e9-179f-4e9a-86b0-dd935219c39b\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 tabindex=\"0\" class=\"section-faq__title accordion__title rq-hide-metafiled-emptytemplate--14756991336532__about is-open\" data-mce-tabindex=\"0\"\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-accordion-body=\"\" class=\"section__body accordion__body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list-holder\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list faq-list--1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-list__item-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rte faq-list__item-content 9dd3149e-85db-4ddc-87aa-e9281a3c4b32\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDr. Parvinderjit Singh Khanuja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is an oncologist and researcher who practices in Chandler and Mesa.
