It has a franchise agreement to operate most of its hotels as part of [[The Luxury Collection]] of [[Marriott International]].

==History==
[[ITC Limited]] entered the hotel business on 18 October 1975 with the opening of a hotel in [[Chennai]], which was renamed as [[Welcomhotel Chennai|Welcomhotel By ITC Hotels, Cathedral Road, Chennai]].<ref>{{cite web |title= About us |publisher= ITC Hotels | url=https://www.itchotels.in/about.html}}</ref>

ITC Hotels has hosted many visiting royalty and world leaders, including [[George W.

The hotel chain works on a philosophy of "Responsible Luxury"<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.itchotels.in/responsible-luxury.html|title=Responsible Luxury|date=16 December 2019| work=itchotels.in}}</ref> and each hotel in the chain has a [[LEED]] (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum rating.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://leed.usgbc.org/leed.html |title=LEED|date=16 December 2019|work=[[USGBC]]}}</ref>

The Vazir Sultan Tobacco Co Ltd. ([[VST Industries]]) bought Vishwarama Hotels in 1980-1981 and soon after, in 1982, the first luxury hotel for the new chain opened in [[Bangalore]].

In 1984, ITC Ltd. bought the entire equity capital from VST. In 1985 the Indian government awarded the Hotel that would later become the ITC Gardenia a five star rating.<ref>[https://www.moneycontrol.com/company-facts/itchotels/history/itc01= Company Facts – ITC Hotels].

The company name was changed from ITC Ltd. to ITC Hotels in 1986.

== Demerger from ITC Ltd. ==

==History==
{{Original research section|date=November 2021}}
The JSCA's decision to build a new cricket stadium in [[Ranchi]] stemmed from a dispute with [[Tata Steel]], regarding allocations of international matches and conducting matches in [[Keenan Stadium]].{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}}

This conflict came about when an international match between India and England was moved to [[Bangalore]], with the JSCA stating they did not receive any response from Tata Steel. Following this, the JSCA decided a new stadium was needed. As [[Jharkhand State Cricket Association]] is a full member of the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] (BCCI), it organizes international matches in the state, but JSCA did not own any international cricket stadiums, the only one being [[Keenan Stadium]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cricjharkhand.org/cricket/grounds/keenan/index.php |title=Keenan Stadium |website=cricjharkhand.org |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111113044221/http://www.cricjharkhand.org/cricket/grounds/keenan/index.php |archive-date=2011-11-13}}</ref> [[Jamshedpur]] which was owned by Tata Steel. Therefore, it was decided to construct its own International Cricket Stadium in [[Ranchi]], the capital of [[Jharkhand]].
[[File:JSCAInternational Stadium1.jpg|thumb|left|Main Stadium during construction]]
The design commission was given to architectural consultants Kothari Associates Pvt. Ltd. of [[Delhi]].

This stadium is built within the premises of HEC ([[Heavy Engineering Corporation]]), a public sector company. This stadium is the home ground of [[Indian Cricket Team]]'s former skipper [[Mahendra Singh Dhoni]].{{citation needed|date=November 2021}}

The stadium has been constructed in such a way that no shadow falls on any of the nine pitches before 4.45 pm, even on the shortest day of the year. There is another ground in the complex which has five pitches.{{citation needed|date=November 2021}}

There is a practice arena with eight pitches. The stadium has a seating capacity of around 50,000 and 76 corporate boxes. Spectators can also enjoy views from two nearby hills on the East and West Sides called the East and West Hills. This is the only stadium in the country having hills on both sides.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kumari |first=Sita |date=2023-08-19 |title=JSCA International Cricket Stadium: Unveiling Ranchi’s Sporting Marvel - Stadiums World |url=https://stadiums.world/jsca-international-cricket-stadium-ranchi/ |access-date=2023-09-04 |language=en-GB}}</ref>

The two pavilions, North and South, are fully air-conditioned have five levels each which include VIP areas, members' enclosure, donors' enclosure, president's box, the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India|BCCI]] box and two large dressing rooms with separate dining spaces for players.{{citation needed|date=November 2021}}

Membrane roofs provide shade from the sun. The Stadium also features an Indoor Cricket centre consisting of three indoor pitches, with a residential complex where players can stay for training.<ref name="cricketcountry1">{{cite web |url=http://www.cricketcountry.com/cricket-articles/New-stadium-with-world-class-facilities-ready-in-Ranchi-/6564 |title=New stadium with world-class facilities ready in Ranchi – Cricket News & Articles |publisher=CricketCountry.com |date=12 October 2011 |access-date=17 January 2013 |archive-date=21 June 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120621023542/http://www.cricketcountry.com/cricket-articles/New-stadium-with-world-class-facilities-ready-in-Ranchi-/6564 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In November 2015, the stadium was selected one of the six new Test venue along with [[Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium]], [[Holkar Stadium]], [[Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium]], [[Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium]] and [[Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium]] in India.<ref>[http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/938911.html BCCI revamps selection committee, announces new Test centres]</ref>

== History ==
In 1949, Jamini Roy had shifted from his erstwhile house at [[Bagbazar|Baghbazar]] to the new residence in Ballygunge, which was designed and conceived by himself and his son Amiya.<ref name=":0" /> He lived and continued to work here in his studio till his death in 1972.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |title=A walk through Jamini Roy’s house at Ballygunge Place |url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/my-kolkata/news/a-walk-through-jamini-roys-house-at-ballygunge-place/cid/1929316 |access-date=2023-06-03 |website=www.telegraphindia.com}}</ref> The house during its heyday was open to all people, and distinguished personalities of the time would then come to visit and interact with the artist. The house had seen visitors like [[Rabindranath Tagore]], [[Sarojini Naidu]], [[Indira Gandhi]] along with [[Rajiv Gandhi|Rajiv]] and [[Sanjay Gandhi]], former chief ministers of West Bengal [[Siddhartha Shankar Ray|Siddhartha Shankar Roy]], [[Jyoti Basu]], and [[Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee|Buddhadeb Bhattacharya]], and other illustrious dignitaries from across the world.<ref name=":0" />[[File:Stamp_of_India_-_1978_-_Colnect_326685_-_Jamini_Roy.jpeg|thumb|Stamp of India - 1978 - Colnect 326685 - Jamini Roy]]
One of the most significant events in the household was the [[Pohela Boishakh|Bengali New Year]] celebrations, that coincided with the artist's birthday. On that day, several visitors including neighbours, and guests, came to the house and were served a special [[Sharbat (beverage)|sherbet]], sweets and [[Samosa|shingara]]. All were treated equally and offered wooden stools with a sheet of paper for cushion.<ref name=":1" />

== The plan ==
A DAG note outlines how the ground floor was reserved as the studio space for the artist, while there were separate entrances to the private spaces upstairs where the family members lived. The house covering an area of 7,284 sq. ft. has a distinct feature of the staircase with glass panels stretched from the entrance to the terrace. The grilles on the green slatted windows have a diamond motif designed by the artist himself. The family had rented the ground floor to a bank which had led to major alterations in the studio space.<ref name=":4" />

After the property was acquired, DAG proposed to restore the ground floor to the original studio format of the artist, while the first and the second floors would be converted into galleries devoted to exhibitions curated around Roy's life and art. For instance, the "Christ room" where the artist displayed works from his famous [[Jesus|Christ]] series would once again be recreated giving the viewers a taste of art history. The museum would be designed by leading conservation architects and designers. There would also be a library, a resource centre, and a museum shop. The ample open spaces would be utilised for conducting workshops, and live performances.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":2" /> Ashish Anand, the CEO and managing director of DAG, asserted that this would the company's single most important project.<ref name=":3" /> The project has been inspired by Casa Azul, the place designed and dedicated to Frida Kahlo in Mexico.<ref name=":3" /> The aim of the house-museum is to retain the unique modernist [[Swadeshi movement|''swadeshi'']] idiom that was typical of Roy's works. The family members who were finding it difficult to maintain the lavish property said that their "collective prayers were answered" when DAG approached them to acquire the museum and convert it into a museum.<ref name=":0" />

Folklore of India

2023-05-16T09:17:55Z

Michalgorge: Finished writing a new contribution.

{{Short description|none}}
{{More footnotes}}
{{Rewrite}}
{{Culture of India}}

The '''folklore of India''' encompasses the [[folklore]] of the nation of [[India]] and the [[Indian subcontinent]]. India is an ethnically and religiously diverse country. Given this diversity, it is difficult to generalize the vast folklore of India as a unit.{{cn}}

Although India is a [[Hinduism|Hindu-majority]] country, with more than three-fourths of the population identifying themselves as Hindus, there is no single, unified, and all-pervading concept of identity present in it. Various heterogeneous traditions, numerous regional cultures and different religions to grow and flourish here. [[Folk religion]] in Hinduism may explain the rationale behind local religious practices, and contain local [[mythology|myths]] that explain the customs or rituals. However, folklore goes beyond religious or supernatural beliefs and practices, and encompasses the entire body of social tradition whose chief vehicle of transmission is oral or outside institutional channels.{{cn}}

==Folk art of India==

Folk art forms include various schools of art like the [[Mughal painting|Mughal School]], [[Rajput painting#Schools|Rajasthani School]], [[Nakashi art]] School etc. Each school has its distinct style of colour combinations or figures and its features. Other popular folk art forms include [[Madhubani art|Madhubani paintings]] from [[Bihar]], [[Kangra painting]] from [[Himachal Pradesh]] and [[Warli painting]] from [[Maharashtra]]. Tanjore paintings from [[South India]] incorporate real gold into their paintings. Local fairs, festivals, deities and heroes (warriors) play a vital role in this art form. In history the arts were made by upper caste but now they are famous worldwide.{{cn}}

==Folktales of India==

[[File:Thirayattam- (Karumakan Vallattu).JPG|thumb|[[Thirayattam]]- (Karumakan Vallattu)]]
India possesses a large body of heroic [[ballad]]s and [[epic poetry]] preserved in oral tradition, both in [[Sanskrit]] and the various vernacular languages of India. One such oral epic, telling the story of [[Pabuji]], has been collected by Dr. John Smith from [[Rajasthan]]; it is a long poem in the [[Rajasthani language]], traditionally told by professional story tellers, known as [[Bhopa]]s, who deliver it in front of a [[tapestry]] that depicts the characters of the story, and functions as a portable temple, accompanied by a ''ravanhattho'' fiddle. The title character was a historical figure, a [[Rajput]] prince, who has been deified in Rajasthan. [https://web.archive.org/web/20060511183037/http://bombay.oriental.cam.ac.uk/john/pabuji/statement.html]

Various performing arts such as [[Garba (dance)|Garba]] and [[Dandiya Raas]] of [[Gujarat]], [[Sambalpuri culture|Sambalpuri dance]] of [[Odisha]], the [[Chhau dance|Chhau]], [[List of Indian folk dances|Alkap]] and [[Gombhira|Gambhira]] of [[West Bengal]], [[Bihu dance]] of [[Assam]], [[Ghoomar|Ghoomar dance]] of [[Rajasthan]] and [[Haryanvi]], [[Bhangra (dance)|Bhangra]] and [[Giddha|Gidda]] of [[Punjab, India|Punjab]], [[Dhangar]] of [[Goa]], [[List of Indian folk dances|Panthi]] dance of [[Chhattisgarh]], [[Kummi]], and [[Karakattam|Karagattam]] of [[Tamil Nadu|TamilNadu]], [[Kolannalu|Kolattam]] of [[Andhra Pradesh]], [[Yakshagana]] of [[Karnataka]], [[Thirayattam]] of [[Kerala]]<ref>"Thirayattam" (Folklore Text -malayalam), Bhasha Institute, Keralam - {{ISBN|978-81-200-4294-0}}</ref> and [[Chang Lo]] of [[Nagaland]] derive their elements from myriads of myths, folktales and seasonal changes.{{cn}}

The Ramayana and the Mahabharata are the two greatest and most widely read epics of India. Other noteworthy collections of Indian traditional stories include the ''[[Panchatantra]]'', a collection of traditional narratives made by [[Vishnu Sarma]] in the second century BC. The ''[[Hitopadesha]]'' of [[Narayan Pandit|Narayana]] is a collection of [[anthropomorphism|anthropomorphic]] [[fabliau]]x, animal [[fable]]s, in Sanskrit, compiled in the ninth century.{{cn}}

Indian folklorists during the last thirty years have substantially contributed to the study of folklore. [[Devendra Satyarthi]], Krishna Dev Upadyhayaya, Prafulla Dutta Goswami, Kunja Bihari Dash, Ashutosh Bhatacharya and many more senior folklorists have contributed for the study of folklore. But it is during the 1970s that some folklorists studied in US universities and trained up themselves with the modern theories and methods of folklore research and set a new trend of folklore study in India. Especially, South Indian universities advocated for folklore as a discipline in the universities and hundreds of scholars trained up on folklore. A.K. Ramanujan was the noted folklorist to analyse folklore from Indian context.{{cn}}

Study of folklore was strengthened by two stremas (sicsic); one is Finnish folklorist [[Lauri Honko]] and another is Peter J. Claus of American folklore. These two folklorists conducted their field work on [[Epic of Siri]] and led the Indian folklorists to the new folklore study. The Central Institute of Indian Languages has played a major role in promoting folklore studies in India to explore another reality of Indian culture.{{cn}}

Recently scholars such as Chitrasen Pasayat, M. D. Muthukumaraswamy, Vivek Rai, Jawaharlal Handoo, Birendranath Dutta, P. C. Pattanaik, B. Reddy, Sadhana Naithani, P. Subachary, Molly Kaushal, Shyam Sundar Mahapatra, Bhabagrahi Mishra and many new folklorists have contributed in their respective field for shaping folklore study as a strong discipline in representing the people's memory and people's voice. Recently the National Folklore Support Center in Chennai has taken the initiative to promote folklore in public domain and bridging the gap of academic domain and community domain.{{cn}}

==Indian folk heroes, villains, and tricksters==
{{Unsourced section}}
Indian folk heroes like Rama, Krishna in Sanskrit epics and history and also in freedom movement are well known to every one. They have found a place in written literature. But in Indian cultural sub-system, Indian folk heroes are most popular. The castes and tribes of India have maintained their diversities of culture through their language and religion and customs. So in addition to national heroes, regional heroes and local folk and tribal heroes are alive in the collective memory of the people. Let's take examples of the [[Santhal people|Santhal]]s or the [[Gondi people|Gonds]]. The Santhals have their culture heroes Beer Kherwal and Bidu Chandan. Gonds have their folk hero Chital Singh Chhatti. [[Banjara]] folk hero is Lakha Banjara or Raja Isalu.{{cn}}

But not only heroes, the heroines of Indian folklore have also significant contribution in shaping the culture of India. Banjara epics are heroine-centric. These epics reflect the "sati" cult.{{cn}}

Oral epics with heroic actions of heroes and heroines produce a "counter text", as opposed to the written texts. Therefore, the younger brother becomes hero and kill his elder brother in an oral epic, which is forbidden in classical epics. Folk heroes are some times deified and are worshipped in the village. There is a thin difference of a mythic hero and romantic hero in Indian folklore. In [[Kalahandi]], oral epics are available among the ethnic singers, performed in ritual context and social context. Dr Mahendra Mishra, a folklorist, has conducted research on oral epics in Kalahandi, taking seven ethnic groups. Dr. Chitrasen Pasayat has made an extensive study of different folk and tribal forms of Yatra, like Dhanu yatra, Kandhen-budhi yatra, Chuda-khai yatra, Sulia yatra, Patkhanda yatra, Budha-dangar yatra, Khandabasa yatra, Chhatar yatra, Sital-sasthi yatra and examined the 'hero characters' of the local deities.{{cn}}

Indian oral epics are found abundantly everywhere there are caste based culture. Prof. Lauri Honko from Turku, Finland with Prof. Vivek Rai and Dr K Chinnapa Gawda have conducted extensive field work and research on Siri Epic and have come out with three volumes on [[Epic of Siri]], not [[Siri]]. Similarly Prof. Peter J Claus has done intensive work on [[Tulu people|Tulu]] epics. Aditya Mallick on [[Devnarayan]] epic, Pulikonda Subbachary on [[Jambupurana]], Dr JD Smith on [[Pabuji]] epic are some of the commendable work that have been drawn attention of the wider readership.{{cn}}

==Traditional games of India==
{{Main|Traditional games of India}}
{{Unsourced section}}
India has a long history of board games. You hear about these from the times of the Mahabharata and the Mughal empire. Some of the popular board games that originated from Indian Traditional games include Chess ([[Chaturanga]]), Ludo ([[Pachisi]]) and [[Snakes and Ladders]] (Moksha-Patamu).{{cn}}

Recently, [[Odisha]], a state in eastern India, introduced a child-friendly programme called Srujan (creativity) in the primary schools. About 18 million children took part in four activities like story telling activities, traditional games, traditional art and craft and music and dance and riddles over a period of three years (2007–2010). The result is that while there are hundreds of varieties of folktales, the varieties of traditional games are limited. About three hundred traditional games both indoor and outdoor were commonly played and it was found that the traditional games contain mathematical knowledge (like counting, measurement, shapes and size, geometrical ideas and finally socialization through action). The traditional games are the best ways of teaching and learning. When these are applied in the primary schools, many teachers revealed that children know many games that the teachers have forgotten.{{cn}}

Indoor board game like "Kasadi" ( a wooden board with 14 pits played with tamarind seed by two or more than two girls in the domestic domain) was most popular and it is still not vanished from the society. Dr Mahendra Kumar Mishra, a folklorist and an educator has collected these games and has documented in video form.Besides other games in the domestic domain is the goat and the tiger and [[ganjifa]]. These were the forerunners of the card games of today. Ganjifa used to be circular painted stack of card like things which were played using certain rules.{{cn}}

== Indian folklorists ==
The scientific study of Indian folklore was slow to begin: early collectors felt far freer to creatively reinterpret source material and collected their material with a view to the picturesque rather than the representative.{{cn}}

[[A. K. Ramanujan|A. K. Ramanujan's]] theoretical and aesthetic contributions span several disciplinary areas. Context-sensitivity is a theme that appears not only in Ramanujan's cultural essays, but also appears in his writing about Indian folklore and classic poetry. In "Where Mirrors are Windows," (1989) and in "Three Hundred Ramayanas" (1991), for example, he discusses the "intertextual" nature of Indian literature, written and oral...He says, "What is merely suggested in one poem may become central in a 'repetition' or an 'imitation' of it.<ref>{{Cite web| last = Wagoner| first = Candy| title = Attipat Krishnaswami Ramanujan| work = Postcolonial Studies at Emory University| publisher = Emory University, Department of English| date = Fall 1998| url = http://english.emory.edu/Bahri/Ramanujan.html| access-date = 2011-11-27| archive-date = 2004-12-22| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20041222015550/http://www.english.emory.edu/Bahri/Ramanujan.html| url-status = live}}</ref> His essay "Where Mirrors Are Windows: Toward an Anthology of Reflections" (1989), and his commentaries in The Interior Landscape: Love Poems from a Classical Tamil Anthology (1967) and Folktales from India, Oral Tales from Twenty Indian Languages (1991) are good examples of his work in Indian folklore studies.{{cn}}

[[Rudyard Kipling]] was interested in folklore, dealing with English folklore in works such as ''[[Puck of Pook's Hill]]'' and ''[[Rewards and Fairies]]''; his experiences in India led him to also create similar works with Indian themes. Kipling spent a great deal of his life in India and was familiar with the [[Hindi language]]. His works such as the two ''[[Jungle Book]]s'' contain a lot of stories that are written after the manner of traditional folktales. Indian themes also appear in his ''[[Just So Stories]]'', and many of the characters bear recognisable names from Indian languages. During the same period, [[Helen Bannerman]] penned the now notorious Indian-themed tale of ''[[Little Black Sambo]]'', which represented itself to be an Indian folktale.{{cn}}

After [[Indian Independence Act 1947|independence]], disciplines and methods from [[anthropology]] began to be used in the creation of more in-depth surveys of Indian folklore.{{cn}}

Folklorists of India can be broadly divided into three phases. Phase I was the British Administrators who collected the local knowledge and folklore to understand the subjects they want to rule. next were the missionaries who wanted to acquire the language of the people to recreate their religious literature for evangelical purpose. The third phase was the post-independent period in the country where many universities, institutes and individuals started studying the folklore. the purpose was to search the national identity through legends, myths, and epics. In the course of time, Academic institutions and universities in the country started opening departments on folklore in their respective regions, more in south India to maintain their cultural identity and also maintain language and culture.{{cn}}

After independence, scholars like Dr Satyendra, Devendra Satyarthi, Krishnadev Upadhayaya, Jhaberchand Meghani, Prafulla Dutta Goswami, Ashutosh Bhattacharya, Kunja Bihari Dash, Chitrasen Pasayat, Somnath Dhar, Ramgarib Choubey, Jagadish Chandra Trigunayan and many more were the pioneer in working on folklore. Of course, the trend was more literary than analytical. It was during the 1980s that the central Institute of Indian Languages and the [[American Institute of Indian Studies]] started their systemic study on Folklore any after that many western, as well as eastern scholars, pursued their studies on folklore as a discipline.{{cn}}

The pioneer of the folklorists in contemporary India is Jawaharlal Handoo, Sadhana Naithani, Kishore Bhattacharjee, Kailash Patnaik, VA Vivek Rai, late [[Komal Kothari]], Raghavan Payanad, [https://cuj-in.academia.edu/DrMRamakrishnan M Ramakrishnan], Nandini Sahu and many more. An emerging trend of new folklorists has emerged who are committed to understanding folklore from an Indian point of view than to see the whole subjects from the western model. Some of them are better to prefer to understand folklore from the folklore provider and consultants who are the creator and consumers of folklore. The user of folklore knows what folklore is since their use folklore with purpose and meaning. But theoreticians see folklore from their theoretical angle. Ethics point of view, folklorist should learn from the folk as practicable as possible and folk should give the hidden meaning of folklore to the folklorist so that both of their interpretation can help to give a new meaning to the item of folklore and explore the possibility of use of folklore in the new socio-cultural domain.{{cn}}

Dr Mahendra Kumar Mishra from Kalahandi, Odisha has substantially contributed to the tribal folklore of Middle Indian and Odisha. His seminal book ''Oral Epics of Kalahandi'' has been translated into Chinese, and Finnish language. He has written Saora folk literature, Paharia Folkliterature, Visioning Folklore, Oral Poetry of Kalahandi. His recent seminal work is three oral Ramakatha in tribal oral tradition. Dr Mishra has written five books on folklore theory and research methodology adopting the folklore of western Odisha and Chhattisgarh. The analytical work of Dr Mishra has been widely studied in the western and eastern world as a part of South Asian folklore.{{Citation needed}}

Now the National Folklore Support Center, Chennai since the last ten years{{When}} has created a space for the new scholars who are pursuing the study of folklore with their commitment. One important breakthrough in the field of folklore is that it is no more confined to the study in the four walls of academic domain, rather, it has again found its space within and among the folk to get their true meaning.{{cn}}

Dr.Raghavanvpayyanad is a major role in Indian folklore study he has written so many books about folklore, he is also an international face of Indian folkloristics both in English and Malayalam.{{Citation needed}}

==Folk songs and folk music==
India has a rich and varied tradition of folk music and numerous types of folk songs. Some traditional folk song genres have been recognized as [[Intangible Cultural Heritage]] listed by [[UNESCO]]. Among these traditions, a well-known musical and religious repertoire is known as [[Baul]], which has become famous in the World Music scene. Among the most respected historical figures of the Baul tradition, [[Lalon|Lalon Fakir]] and [[Bhaba Pagla]] are often mentioned.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Folklore, religion and the songs of a Bengali madman : a journey between performance and the politics of cultural representation|author=Lorea, Carola Erika|isbn=9789004324701|location=Leiden|oclc=950430793|year = 2016}}</ref>

[[File: Nishan Sahib.svg|thumb|Basanti Nishan Sahib with Khanda]]{{Sikhism sidebar}}
The '''Nishan Sahib''' ([[Gurmukhi]]: ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਸਾਹਿਬ ''niśāna sāhiba'') is a [[Sikh]] triangular flag made of cotton or silk cloth, with a [[tassel]] at its end. The word, ''Nishan Sahib'' means exalted ensign, and the flag is hoisted on a tall flagpole, outside most [[Gurdwara]]s. The flagpole itself, covered with fabric, ends with a [[Khanda (sword)|Khanda]] on top (In the past an Astbuj, nagani [[Barcha|barsha]] or a teer would be placed on top). The emblem on the flag is known as ''[[Khanda (Sikh symbol)|Khanda]]'', which depicts a double-edged sword called a [[khanda (sword)|khanda]] (Miri te Piri) (☬) in the centre, a [[chakram|chakkar]] which is circular, and flanked by two single-edged swords, or [[kirpan]]s. Almost all Sikh warriors used to wear it in the eighteenth century, and Nihangs of today still do. The Khanda Sahib is not to be confused with the Nihang's [[Aad Chand]] which was the first symbol of the [[Khalsa]]. The Khanda was not introduced by Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji but it was a plain yellow banner.

The Nishan Sahib dates back to 1606, when Sixth Guru Har Gobind raised the first Sikh flag over the Akal Takhat seat of authority in Amritsar, India. At that time, Sikhs called the flag Akal Dhuja (undying banner), or Satguru Nishan (true guru's insignia).

Traditional symbol of the [[Khalsa Panth]] (corps of initiated Sikhs), the Nishan Sahib can be seen from far away, signifying the presence of Khalsa in the neighbourhood. It is taken down every [[Vaisakhi|Baisakhi]] (harvest festival, mid-April in the Gregorian calendar and in Vaisakh month in the [[Nanakshahi calendar]]), and replaced with a fresh flag, and the flagpole refurbished.

== History ==
[[File:Illuminated Guru Granth Sahib folio of a Nishan (flag).jpg|thumb|Illuminated Guru Granth Sahib folio of a Nishan, ca. 1775, with red background, thin gold borders, and central motif of a tulwar sword and dhal shield. Paint on paper, Punjab]]

[[File:Guru Gobind Singh with followers.jpg|thumb|Guru Gobind Singh with followers carrying Basanti flag with emblems.]]
During the time of [[Guru Hargobind]], the Nishan Sahib was made into a shade of yellow, known as Basanti, to show the spirituality of the Sikhs and their warrior spirit. After the creation of [[Khalsa]], [[Guru Gobind Singh]] introduced Navy Blue (called Surmayee) flag, which is still the colour of the [[Nihang]] flags. The first Sikh flags were plain, but emblems were introduced by [[Guru Gobind Singh]]. The first Sikh emblem, was not the [[Khanda (Sikh symbol)|Khanda]], but the three weapons, the Kattar (dagger), Dhal (shield) and Kirpan (sabre). Later these emblems were also used by the Sikh [[misls]] and the Empire.

[[File:Sikh Empire flag.svg|thumb|Sikh Empire Nishan Sahib flag, introduced by Ranjit Singh]]
When [[Gulab Singh]] asked Maharaja Ranjit Singh to change the Nishan Sahib to saffron or deep orange [[Ranjit Singh|Maharaja Ranjit Singh]] declined but later when he changed the army from traditional Akalis to French-style soldiers he made separate flags to respect Hindu and Muslim ideologies. Later the Battle standards for Muslim regiments was the Lion and the Sun and the Hindu Regiments were various gods and goddesses.

[[File:Sikh Flag.png|thumb|Today's Sikh Nishan Sahib]]
Later during the British Rule it became from Basanti and Surmayee to Kesari.

During the Singh Sabha Movement the Sikhs tried to restore Sikhism to its pristine glory so in the start it became the Flag of the Dal Khalsa but slowly it changed to the today's Nishan Sahib with the Khanda Emblem.

== Weapons and ornaments ==
The original Nishan Sahib carried by Guru Gobind Singh ji in the [[Katar (dagger)|Kattar]], Dhal, [[Kirpan]] format had either a Ashtabhuja Duja, Nangini Barcha or Karpa Barcha used as a spear on top. The Nagni Barcha or snake like sword was created by Guru Gobind Singh ji and famously used by [[Bachittar Singh|Bhai Bachittar Singh]] to pierce the trunk of a drunken, armored elephant in the [[Battle of Nirmohgarh (1702)|Battle of Nimolgarh]]. The [[Ashtabhuja (Weapon)|Ashtabhuja]] is a spear with three crescents stuck to an iron rod with two spears coming out on top. The Ashtabhuja was mainly used as the Battle Stadered of the Tenth Guru and is highly recommended. Guru Gobind Singh Ji's ashtabhuja was found in Chamkaur sahib the place where his two sons were martyred and other two captured with his mother. The flag is simply wrapped around the top of the spear with two strings of fabric coming out of the tip.

While today's Nishan Sahib has a Khanda in a dagger form on top of the flag and the fabric covering the spear till the top. The Khanda symbol is also relatively new and was made in the early 19th century.

==Overview==
The Nishan Sahib is placed outside Sikh Gurdwaras and is supported by a pole.

The [[Khanda (religious symbol)|Khanda]], a Sikh symbol, today, is rendered in navy [[blue]] on the saffron background while the original was basanti (bright yellow) and surrmai neela (Royal blue). The khanda is placed high up on a flagpole as a sign for all Sikhs and indeed any other people that they can come and pray in this building. Great respect is shown to this flag<ref name="ColeSambhi1998">{{cite book|author1=William Owen Cole|author2=Piara Singh Sambhi|title=The Sikhs: Their Religious Beliefs and Practices|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zIC_MgJ5RMUC&pg=PA58|accessdate=30 December 2012|year=1998|publisher=Sussex Academic Press|isbn=978-1-898723-13-4|page=58}}{{Dead link|bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> and the flag is considered [[sacred]] and washed using milk and water every year<ref name="Nesbitt2004">{{cite book|author=Eleanor M.

The Nishan Sahib is changed once the saffron color has faded.

The Sikh Rehat Maryada clearly states that the Nishan Sahib hoisted outside every [[Gurdwara|Gurudwara]] should be [[yellow|xanthic]] (Basanti in [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]]) or greyish blue (modern day [[Navy blue]]) (Surmaaee in [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]]) color.<ref>Sikh Rehat Maryada: [https://old.sgpc.net/rehat_maryada/section_three_chap_four.htm Section Three, Chapter IV, Article V, r.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220318143340/https://old.sgpc.net/rehat_maryada/section_three_chap_four.htm }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.sikhmuseum.com/nishan/ |title=Nishan Sahib (Sikh Museum) |access-date=2023-05-31 |archive-date=2022-04-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220420090813/http://www.sikhmuseum.com/nishan/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
