Painting On The Wall?

[Guest _learner_]

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

I was looking at Gurmukstuck's (sikhnet) photos on flickr and i came across this photographs http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/356475...c44eb4e10_o.jpg

It from a wedding and the painting on the back looks odd.

It show all the Guru's, Stories, Gurdwaras but who is the women in the middle?? It looks like Virgin Mary (Jesus Mother) in the Khanda, if so, why would she be in the center of the image? What is it trying to say? Whats so special about this women that she is in the middle of the greatness of the Gurdwaras and all Sikh Guru's???

not too sure, but if you look closely you can see some hindu deity's in the picture aswell

I think its a interfaith picture, because it has images from different faiths, you know one of those peace interfaith pictures that are meant to bring other faiths together with peace. Not sure tho.

Just a wild stab in the dark - but im assuming thats Harbhajan Singh on the left side of the painting (3HO)

and you can clearly see the Virgin Mary and the Khanda next to them too

No offense.. I'm not trying to act 'smart'..but I honestly think that my post was not inappropriate or offensive.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

..and how can you give me a pre-warning with a smile..? lol ..I almost thought it was a prank

Your right that is the Virgin mary in the middle.

There is also a hindu deity sheran valee in there on the top right.

Another hindu deity on the top left which i cant quite make out the identity of.

Very unusual. By the looks of it its a collage of pic n mix from different religions.

I hope this was not inside a gurdwara.
