It includes a total of about 3500 entries on different subject titles relating to Sikh life and letters, history and philosophy, customs and rituals, social and religious movements, art and architecture, locales and shrines. Although it is not an easy task to restate and repack the entire range of information and knowledge of a people yet an attempt has been made here precisely to define the doctrines and terms of Sikhism in a direct, terse and tight writing. It should be of immense use and help in providing the background and facts necessary for the comprehension of Sikh thought and symbolism.

Comprehensive but concise, titanic but torse, exhaustive but elegant,this Encyclopedia covers different aspects of sikh lifeand letters, history and philosophy, customs and rituals, social and religious movements, art and architecture, locates and shrines.
