Baba Jai Guru Dev

Baba Jai Guru Dev memorial is located in outskirts of Gwalior on NH-75. The architecture of the memorial combines the heavy white marble with the lightness of the form, where the solid looking stone exterior dissolves as the night dawns and transforms into a delicate lantern in the dunes. During the day, light filters into the sanctum of the memorial. At night, light turns the memorial inside-out, extending an invitation to those outside while rewarding those within. This gesture also subtly seeks to illuminate the need for inclusion in contemporary religious spaces, which still tend exclude based on old age biases of gender, class, caste or orientation.
