The Khalsa — the community of initiated Sikhs — was established by Guru Gobind Singh on Vaisakhi Day, 1699. Among the five articles of faith prescribed for all members of the Khalsa, the Kirpan stands as a symbol of spiritual power and the duty to uphold justice and protect the vulnerable.

The Kirpan’s curved form reflects the martial traditions of the Punjab and the Mughal period in which Sikhism developed. It is not worn as a threat but as a reminder of responsibility — the commitment of every Khalsa Sikh to stand against injustice wherever it is found. In Sikh theology, the Kirpan represents Shakti — divine power — and the protection it affords is spiritual as much as physical.

Deepeeka’s Kirpan is crafted in mild steel with a mild steel scabbard, reflecting the traditional form of this sacred object. Suitable for display, cultural education and costume purposes.
