i have seen a Golden Temple picture very very old in this site. I am not able to find it again in this site. I remembered the picture yet it is in my mind there was no divider also for in and out.

thanks in advance.

Gurfateh !

Here are a selection ;

from CE 1865

from CE 1870

From CE 1875

These are all from around CE 1903

Akalis on the Causeway that leads to the Darbar Sahib

Akalis standing under the Darshani Deori

A Nihang Baba seated in the courtyard between the Darbar Sahib and The Akal Takht

These pictures show the Darbar Sahib without the 'Jangley' or 'dividers' which I believe were brought in around the 1950s/1960s.

Hopefully one of these is the picture you are looking for - If not give a more detailed description of the picture and I'll see if I can find it for you.

Gurfateh!

amazing pictures!

couple of questions

does anybody know when they started inscribing the marble, the floors, the fans, the everything with peoples names and how much they had donated?

interesting to see how so many of the bibia in the pictures kept 'chohnd' (keeping most of face covered from other people using the chunni) back then. i know this habit only dissapeared not to long ago, was this prevalent from guru jis times?

having never had the good fortune to go to the kar seva, does anybody know what they do with the kaar once they clean it out? where does it go?

the nihang singhs with the massive gajke, we dont seem to see so many of these around these days, albeit different styles seem to be more prominent now (or maybe its just me!). but freed has the dumala decoration changed much over the years from guru jis time to the current period? the same for the actual dumalla itself. from a lot of the pics u have posted the older ones seem to be generally thinner and perhaps generally taller?? again is there any basis for this, or just me being silly?
