People who visit the Wagah border to witness the Retreat ceremony can now look forward to an added attraction as Sarhad restaurant, located near the border, has come up with what it claims to be the India's biggest wall mural (200 ft x 10 ft) depicting the tale of Partition.

Amritsar Deputy Commissioner today dedicated to the public this work of art in cement stone relief created by a 15-member team of artists led by Suresh Nair of Banaras Hindu University, and Kirti Chandak of Paris.

It is the biggest cement relief mural in the country and is divided into five parts. The first panel depicts the pre-Partition bond between the people. The panel two shows the trauma of Partition and people migrating. The panel three and four depict the daily ceremony at the Wagah border. The fifth panel is a wishful expression of a dream of one day seeing the gates at the border open for free travel for people of East and West Punjab.
