CHANDIGARH: A British play "Guru Manyo Granth", based on history and Sikh tenets was recently staged in Chandigarh by the London based Punjabi Theatre Academy.

Staged in Punjabi and English, the play traced the history of the Sikh religion by incorporating quotations and power point presentations on the various Sikh religious leaders or 'Gurus'.
