It is said that devotion has no limits, and a city-based Sikh devotee has certainly proved it by preparing a hand-written Holy Guru Granth Sahib, which is 6-feet long and 90 kg in weight.

It is a copy of ‘Adi Granth’ written by Harvinder Pal Singh, a resident of Kaushal Puri, Kanpur, it is made of German-made paper that can last for around 400 years. The `Granth Sahib’ will be placed at Golden Temple, Amritsar-Punjab.

The Saroop has been hand written by Harvinder Singh. The Pen was specially imported from USA to write a Holy Guru Granth Sahib, It took him 3 years to complete the entire saroop. The specialty of the pen is that its writing gives an impression of print.

Six people are required to handle the Guru Granth Sahib, while 3 people are needed to turn its pages, which are quite large in size. The `Granth Sahib’, before being taken to Golden Temple in Amritsar, was kept in Ranjit Nagar Gurudwara in the city for some time”, Bhalla said.

Harvinder Singh also wrote 2 other copies of Guru Granth Sahib in the past. One copy of the `Granth Sahib’ is in Paonta Sahib Gurudwara, Dehradun while other one is in a Punjab Gurdwara.
