"Virasat-e-Khalsa" is a museum of Sikhism, located in the holy town, Anandpur Sahib. Designed by Moshe Safdie, the internationally acclaimed Boston-based Israeli architect, the design has two main complexes, which are joined with a connecting ceremonial bridge. The western complex houses an auditorium. The eastern complex has a north wing also known as the Flower Building. The roof of the Flower Building is shaped in the form of five petals – representing five virtues – central tenet of the sikh faith. There is no entry fee to visit the complex however one has to avail passes to enter in it which is free of cost. The visitors are provided with headphones and audiometers. There are sensors in every section which activates automatically when we enter any section of the complex.
The second phase of Virasat-E-Khalsa was opened in November, 2016 and is about the socio-political and religious development of the Sikh community from early 18th century to present times.
