Moving beyond the sacred, the collection celebrates the energetic pulse of Punjabi life. A vibrant painting of Bhangra is set to capture the movement and celebratory spirit of the iconic folk dance, bringing the colors of Punjab to life.
In a fascinating nod to the present day, the auction includes a contemporary piece: a photoprint from Diljit Dosanjh’s Dil-Luminati Tour. This inclusion highlights the massive global footprint of Punjabi music and how the state's culture has transitioned from local traditions to international stages.
