New Delhi: The Guru Granth Sahib Resource Centre in Bhai Vir Singh Sahitya Sadan in Delhi is holding an exhibition of some rare Guru Granth Sahib Birs in the world, including the world’s smallest printed Guru Granth Sahib Bir as also the world’s largest handwritten holy book of the Sikhs. The smallest printed Bir is 2.5 cm in length, 2 cm in breadth and 3 cm in height and the biggest Bir, popularly known as Chandani Bir, has been brought from Afghanistan by Sikh refugees.

Also on display is a reproduction of folios from the Kartarpuri Bir as well as a copy of the first camera photo of the Golden Temple by William Baker, taken around 1864-66.
