Reuters Images of the Year
Reuters News Pictures Service (RNPS) recently announced its images of the year for 2008. One of them is the following picture taken of “Gurmeet Singh, 72, a Sikh, work[ing] on a hand written version of the ‘Guru Granth Sahib’ (the holy book of Sikhs) in the northern Indian city of Amritsar.”
I also enjoyed — and wanted to share — these Reuters images of gold medallist Abhinav Bindra and of the Golden Temple.
“Olympic men’s 10m air rifle gold medallist Abhinav Bindra attends a prayer in a Gurudwara or a Sikh temple in his hometown of Chandigarh.” [Link]
“Devotees throng the holy Sikh shrine of Golden Temple on the occasion of the 539th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev, founder of the Sikh faith, in the northern Indian city of Amritsar” [Link]

There was recently a feature on the Punjabi news about Gurmeet Singh. He started this work in 2004 and was hoping to finish this hand-written version of the Guru Granth Sahib by the 300th anniversary. What an incredible and rewarding feat. Love the image.
