Abstract
Sikh devotional arts play a significant role in creating Sikh identity and its manifestations in Punjab (Pakistan). Therefore many Sikh families display and cherish Sikh devotional icons in the form of posters and other popular mediums to help maintain and create a relationship with a personification and reception of the Sikh Gurus. Based on an ethnographic survey in various cities, this study investigates the Sikh devotional arts in practice particularly in both domestic public spaces where such devotional arts elicit love tears for ardent believers. Judging from an ethnographic survey, it was exposed that for many Sikhs these popular devotional images warrant a specific vision that elicits visual piety.
