The Offering & Its Significance

Curated and directed by Kuljeet Singh of the Delhi-based Atelier Repertory Company, the production is a bilingual (English & Punjabi) musical-daastaan that charts the life, journeys and enduring teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji — traveller, philosopher and spiritual guide.
Through a blend of narration and singing by the daastaango (storytellers), the event sought to evoke the theme of oneness — a central pillar of Guru Nanak’s message
