Historical Sikh Manuscript Recreated in 3D Using The Ground-Breaking 3d Technology.

  

A historical manuscript dating back to the early 19th century has been recreated using the ground-breaking 3d technology.

The manuscript dates to the first Anglo-Sikh War which took place in India in 1845-1846.A manuscript is now in the collection at the University of Leicester.

In a unique project undertaken by the Leicester-based Sikh Museum Initiative, the manuscript, which was taken from a battle between the Sikh Empire and the British East India Trading Company in 1845 has been recreated as a 3D animation.

Sikh historian and Director of the initiative, Gurinder Mann Singh said “I came across the manuscript listed in the university’s collections back in 2013 which was when it all kicked off.”

Within the manuscript are elements from Sikh scriptures including the Guru Granth Sahib which is the most central scriptures within the Sikh faith.
