Freed Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 GurFateh ! I have been asked to re-post a picture of Sardar Jassa Singh Ramgarhia that I posted - it was lost when the servers were changed. I am re posting it with some other pictures of Sardars and Misaldaars - hopefully the pictures will inspire some of the younger members to read about them - Hari Ram Gupta's History of the Sikhs -is a good starting point .

Sardar Jassa Singh Ramgarhia - as you may guess from my avatar, a favourite of mine - here seated on the left with his sons Jodh Singh and Bir Singh - a Simple but very engaging portrait - by the hand of Purkhu of Kangra c.1780, in the National Museum Collection,New Delhi. * Picture from Piety and Splendour- Sikh Heritage in Art - B N Goswamy - Nat Mus 2000 The 'coronation Slab' from The Muhgal Takht-e-Taus or peacock throne brought from The Red Fort Delhi by Jassa Singh Ramgarhia - when the Sardars walked unchallenged into the Mughal Court - now in the Ramgarhia Bunga Amritsar Sardar Jassa Singh Ahluwalia - Sultan-ul-Kaum - Founder of the Doaba Kingdom of Kapurthala.

Dynamic_Banda Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 I love the fact that akali Phoola Singh Ji is wearing a blue kashera. now concidered as offensive and wrong according to jathedar akali baba santa singh ji 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh47 Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 I don’t know the history of that depiction in order to be sure of it’s degree of accuracy of Akali Jee. I do have doubts about that depiction’s accuracy though, as you can see it shows jewelry adorned all over his arms and dumala instead of it being adorned by weapons of puraatan akali nihangs. Just because a painting is old does not necessarily mean it is 100% accurate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chhinderpalsingh Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 U R correct S-47 ji. However, the paintings as above & collection thereof made by Freed is marvelous & much appreciable. I have read in Tawarikh Guru Khalsa by Giani Gian Singhji that a prominent artist prepared a painting of Sahibe Kamaal Sahib Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, by sitting in their feet, as per directions of Bahadur Shah Zafar, while visit of Honourable Guruji to Delhi after victory of BS Zafar. But I have not read about whereabouts or existence of the portrait. Every efforts should be made by our top institutions like SGPC/Sant Samaaj, Researchers, Gursikhs, to find out or trace. May be possible, it is in some of museums or heritage institutions in England etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawrof Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 according to prem/param sumarag granth, singhs should wear jewellery (I am not even kidding you). IF this is the case, anyone who had that rehitnama handy would most likely abide to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chhinderpalsingh Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Respected S.VijaydeepSinghJi, Waheguruji Ka Khalsa, Waheguruji Ki Fateh. Much thanks to point out my mistake, for which I regret deeply. You are exactly right. After Aurangzeb,s death, Prince Muazzam taken over the reign in 1707 with highly Kirpa of Kalgidhar Patshah and named as Bahadur Shah or Shah Alam. It was the last Mughul Emperor Bahadur Shah-II, who was named Bahadur Shah Zafar who taken over as emperor in 1838. I,m highly obliged to you, my dear brother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
