An Adelaide-based artist and the local Sikh community in Queensland came together to create a 13-metre-long mural depicting Punjab, the Cairns farming community, and everything that connects them.
Dr. Daniel Connell led the project unfurled at the Innisfail gurdwara’s langgar hall.
“One of the things I’m proud of in the mural is that it was painted mostly by the local sangat (the community),” Dr. Connell told SBS Punjabi.
The 13-metre-long mural is a visual spectacular including the Himalayas, the Amitsar-based Darbar Sahib (Golden Temple), banana farms, rivers, a local forest, and other symbolic representations. This mural includes an ode to the traditional owners of the land, the Ma Mu people, the report added.
