Gulab Singh learned to engrave from his father Sardar Santokh Singh and began an independent studio where he would do engraving on industrial moulds. During these years, as the family was religiously inclined, he got involved in local Gurudwara activities and developed his faith in Sikh religion and learned about the history of Sikh gurus and the entire Sikh and Punjabi movement after the 10th guru, Guru Gobind Singh.
He started to dedicate more of his time to religious activities and while working he created few bas-reliefs of Sikh Gurus. Later this religious passion gave him a vision to create his first work Minar-e-Khalsa, which took four years of research, hard work and economic investment to materialize. The project was self financed with some help from the local Sikh community.
The bas-relief was inaugurated on Baisakhi of the 300th year celebration of Birth of Khalsa at Hazoor Sahib, Nanded.
