DETAILS IN DETAIL: Our IBHI is made using historic-heritage textiles of India, so of course this IBHI has its own history, not very old though. This IBHI was designed and created as a Rangoli during the festive season, yet it evolved as a multi-purpose and versatile Platter. It is a stand alone single piece beauty, it has two different sides, it is covered in flat digital print on both sides with solid silk rim, which makes it two-sided. The basal diameter of this Platter is 4 inches, it is firm and sturdy. The Platter has 24 tassels on the periphery which are hand-sewn on at the base, the spherical beads are made on pine wood with cylindrical translucent beads wrapped inside out. Each sphere has a bunch of 85 fibre based dull golden beads. Along with the tassles, the total diameter of the Platter is 7 inches.
The Platter has a small loop made using silk chandan thread, which is small enough to not be visible but strong enough to hold the entire Platter when hung on a wall as decor. Flat on a surface or suspended on a wall, this Platter is ultra versatile.
The pictures and videos are shot using Iphone 13 Pro and have undergone no post-processing edits to make sure that you have an exact perception of the IBHI.
IMPORTANCE OF IK ONKAR MOTIF:
"Ik Onkar" is a fundamental concept and phrase in Sikhism, which holds great significance in the Sikh faith. Here's an explanation of the importance and significance of "Ik Onkar":
-
Concept of Oneness: "Ik Onkar" is a Punjabi phrase that translates to "There is One God" or "The One Creator." It represents the central theological concept of Sikhism, emphasizing the belief in the oneness of God. Sikhism rejects the idea of multiple gods and emphasizes monotheism, affirming that there is only one divine reality that permeates everything in the universe.
-
Unity and Equality: "Ik Onkar" also reflects the Sikh principle of equality and the unity of all humankind. It emphasizes that all human beings are equal in the eyes of the Divine and should be treated as such. Sikhism promotes the idea that there is no distinction based on caste, creed, gender, or social status, and that all individuals should be treated with respect and dignity.
-
The Primordial Sound: "Ik Onkar" is considered the primal and essential sound that represents the divine reality. It is seen as the beginning of creation and the source of all existence. The sound of "Ik Onkar" is believed to be the essence of the Divine and is chanted or meditated upon to connect with the ultimate reality.
-
Core Philosophy of Sikhism: "Ik Onkar" forms the opening phrase of the Mul Mantar, the fundamental statement of Sikh beliefs written by Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism. The Mul Mantar is recited at the beginning of Sikh scriptures, the Guru Granth Sahib, and serves as a summary of the Sikh philosophy.
-
Spiritual Awakening and Enlightenment: "Ik Onkar" represents the path of spiritual awakening and enlightenment. By recognizing the oneness of God and the unity of all creation, Sikhs aim to develop a deeper connection with the Divine and cultivate a sense of universal love, compassion, and selflessness.
In summary, "Ik Onkar" encapsulates the core beliefs of Sikhism, emphasizing the oneness of God, the unity of humanity, and the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. It serves as a powerful reminder for Sikhs to live a life of humility, equality, and devotion to the Divine while recognizing the inherent divinity within all beings.
