stopsingh Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Nope not made in 1699. The current form of the Khanda is a 20th century design. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simrun255 Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 From my knowledge the khanda originaly was just a double edge sword, the Khanda you see nower days with the chakar, the chakar was added after the Singh Sahba movement. But i have also heard that the Khanda the nihungs wear on their dumalas is the original one. but i have also heard that we as sikhs dont really have a symbol as such. I too am curious if anyone can let me know what really is the truth. the comments i have posted is what i have heard from others so i could be wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSINGH Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 so ppl the khda that 'we' use today, is it a flase one. what about all the NISHAN SAHIBS across the world, should they not have the MODERN khanda on it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungee Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 The Khanda that we see today in our community isn't a 20 century design, and it hasnt really got a DIRECT link to the Ardhanarishvara. the present symbol in a "nut shell" dates from around Pre 18 century, during the misl period. i havent really got my notes at hand, but the symbol is from the most strongest misl...which was Maharaja Runjeet singhs. we as sikhs have more than 1 symbol to represent us. I have for example seen Sikh Flags with a Peacocks, Lotus, Axe & snake, Bow & Arrow and various other designs. I am sure if u pester some of the senior lads in Nidar Singhs Akhara, or just wait a few month still his book comes out, your question will be answered in detail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
