Very Sony TV – Don’t Miss It!
We have had tremendous media coverage already but this week, we are pleased to announce that Sony TV Asia will be broadcasting its own coverage of our launch of the exhibition.
This week’s episode of Zone (the Golden Temple episode) will be free to view for all Sky customers on channel 782 (SET Asia). Timings are: Friday 19th 7.30pm-8pm and Saturday 20th (repeat) 7pm-8pm.
Last of the Rababis
The rababi tradition within Sikhism is associated with the first rababi, Bhai Mardana, a Muslim musician who had been a virtual lifelong companion of Guru Nanak throughout his epic travels. Remarkably, the tradition actually survived within the Golden Temple until relatively recently and now visitors to the amazing Golden Temple exhibiton in London will get the chance to meet one of the last of the rababis, who is flying in especially from Lahore.
Hidden Histories Revealed
The two publications available at the Golden Temple exhibition focus on the first and last takhts (thrones of spiritual and temporal authority) of the Sikhs.

The exhibition and the book that accompanies it are the culmination of years of research and study into the Golden Temple and its hidden history and traditions.
