Kartarpur Sahib Heritage

Preserving the Soul of the Land of Five Rivers

Jeevay Sanjha Punjab

“Documenting the vanishing, educating the living, and bridging the hearts of East and West Punjab.”

The Foundation

A Shared Heart,
A Divided Map.

 

Punjab is more than a geography; it is a rhythm of shared language, Sufi wisdom, and centuries of collective memory. Since the partition, these threads have been pulled thin, but they have never broken.

“Our work is to find those threads—the songs, the scripts, and the stories—and weave them back together for the next generation.”

Living Testimonies

Beyond documentation, this is a sacred mission to reconnect the 1947 generation with their roots. As we race against the clock, we capture the memories of those who still carry the keys to homes they left decades ago, bringing their untold stories into the permanent archive of our heritage.

Sacred Geography

When millions moved from West to East Punjab in 1947, over 300 historical Sikh sites were left behind. While a few remain maintained, the vast majority are slowly turning to ruins. Our field teams work across the landscape to document these fading landmarks through digital mapping and photography.

Shared Script

Script Continuity

We are breaking the barriers of script to reconnect Punjab with its roots. By teaching Gurmukhi in West Punjab and Shahmukhi in East Punjab, we ensure that the poetry of Bulleh Shah and the Guru’s baani can be read by every Punjabi across the border.
