Nihangs are a tribe that are scattered around Punjab, India. Dating back to the time of the ever expanding Mughal Empire where they were the first line of defense fighting simply for the right to live free from oppression. Each nihang was trained in the martial art of “Shastar vidiya”; The art of swordsmanship allowing them to be very agile yet very destructive. They have dedicated their whole lives to defending their faith.
Known for their martial arts, sword fighting abilities, military expertise and bold blue attire, their traditions have changed very little over the past 300 years.
Due to the success of the Vaisakhi event which took place on Saturday 11th April, Raman Singh’s art work for my latest series Nihang, Nomads of Punjab was put on display until 24th April 2015 at City Hall, Central London.
The Event was organized by the Mayor of London and the positive feedback of the series has given him the opportunity to share his life long passion to explore history and heritage.
Despite being warriors they are a symbol for world peace, Nihangs are saint soldiers! They exist to spread love and preserve peace.
