Freed Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Yeh mera dohita Bani ka bohita benega The words of Guru Amar Das on the birth of his grandson - Guru Arjan Sahib To mark the Shaheedi Purb of Guru Arjan Dev Ji , here is a Pahari portrait of Guru Sahib. The portrait shows an Udasi (described as "a grey yogi " by F S Aijazuddin - Pahari Paintings & Sikh Portraits - 1977) - Could this be a depiction of Baba Siri Chand - elder son of Guru Nanak Sahib ? Please post your thoughts please. Circa AD 1800, Guler, Pahari - The portrait is from the Lahore Museum Collection. Inscribed on reverse - 'Panchvi Padshahi Guru Arjan' Description: Guru Arjan dressed in an embroidered orange 'jama', reads from the Adi Granth (the holy scriptures of the Sikhs), complied during his reign from the teachings of Guru Nanak. A naked grey yogi sits on his left, listening. An orange curtain is rolled at the top of the picture. ( Ref: F S Aijazuddin 1977) This next picture shows a leaf with ' Penti-Akhari' - the 35 letters of the Gurmukhi script - in the Handwriting of Guru Arjan. - It is in the Collection of Bhai Suchet Singh, Village Bhai Rupa, Moga,Punjab. The family claims this leaf is one of several relics given to Bhai Rupa by Guru Hargobind Sahib. * both pictures taken from The Sikh Heritage - Dr Daljeet - 2004 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
