Nihang Factory Patiala

[Guest]

There used to be a nihang Singh Shastars factory and I wanted to know if it's still there.

I went looking for it twice it but couldn't find it when I went. First time I asked sewadars at Dukhniwaran Sahib and they directed us but couldnt find it.

The Dal has base at Bageecha Bagh in Patiala so why not head on over and try and find out there?

[Guest]

Do any of you guys know any other Singh making shastars?

This factory i think was started by Baba Sant Singh, but after dispute of Jathedari of Buddha Dal, it went to Balvir Singh, Since then no-one seems to have heard of it.

I got a tegha from there in 2005. A good friend got it for me, so cannot tell you about the location. Top quality shastar.

After the death of Jathedar Baba Santa Singh ji it was wound up because of the financial crisis within the dal when it split into different camps. I am certain that i read this on SikhSangat, but could not get the details when I did a search.

For good shastars at a fair price you should go to Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib at Anandpur. From the jore-ghar as you do down the ramp to the street level turn right into the bazar and one of the first few shops on your right is Singh Shastars. In April I got a pesh qabz made of puratan style watered steel, not acid etched like many of the fakes. It cost me Rs 4000. The shop keeper admits he makes a profit, but told me to compare his material to the nihang singh shastar factory near Gurdwara Shaheed Baba Deep Singh ji in Amritsar who also make good shastars, but charge the earth.

Do you know anybody who makes sheilds?Not the small ones.The ones the singhs used in wars?I saw guru hargobind sahib ji's sheild and it was 20 or more inches.The ones now are like 12 inches.

Also can you tell me what the difference is between tega,talwar and goliya?They seem the same.

Is there any good shops or factories near moga or near nanaksar?

I know about nihang baldev Singh in Amritsar and I was wondering how much he cost.In rupees please

That's all the questions I have for now

Great thanks for sharing this Singh. Will definitely go to Anandpur Sahib and check it out next time I go to Punjab
