An honour without obvious parallel (the “only building” question)

C Attributed / requires confirmation Legacy contested

The SGPC’s headquarters within the complex bears his name — an honour without obvious parallel for a figure outside the Gurus. Two 2026 press sources state a stronger, absolute version of this; that absolute is not published pending confirmation from the SGPC, because it appears in no reference work.

This is the exact wording approved for public display. It is never strengthened beyond what the tier — Partially supported — published only with attribution — permits.
