“Guru Chand’s House”

“The Guru carried on a lively conversation with the young people as they slowly made their way down some small streets in a direction that seemed a foregone conclusion. They came to a small tan house with a notched roofline. The exterior of the structure was constructed of dried mud and surkhi, powdered broken brick. The façade featured only one window and a front door, both of which were painted sky blue. Guru Chand entered the building and invited the others inside. Orenda let out a sigh upon seeing this room. There were four columns between which openings with scallop-shaped arches led to other rooms. The arches were golden in hue and decorated with a reticulated pattern. Their fronts showed colorful panels that alternated two designs from the floor to the ceiling. A golden reliquary in the corner of the room housed precious artifacts. Lovely, handwoven, red carpets covered the floor. A copy of the “Guru Granthi Sahib” was open on a low wooden table. The Guru immediately sat down behind it and began to read. He nodded and waved as his four guests left the house.” (from “Palace of Perfect Wisdom”)
