Picture

[Guest a bit concerned]

Can someone please tell me who is that person who's picture is on the top of every page next to Harminder sahib?

So who is he? and why is he on the header?

[Guest o.p]

If no forum member can't tell me , then can the mods tell me? (it's you guys that have put the picture up.)

It's guru Nanak dev Ji.Our first Sikh guru.Its a picture which was made by an artist but we still don't know how he looks.

Are you Sikh/punjabi or a westerener?

[Guest o.p]

If you don't know how he looks then why put a random picture up?

either way its pointless! no one know what the guru's look like but for some reason im guessing we all have pictures of them up in our houses again another pointless thing to do!

Ever heard of art work? Yes sikhi has its own art..!!

No one knows for sure what our Gurus looked like, but there are recurrent themes and imagery from historical artwork, yet nothing contempory. This picture is based on that of a famous Punjabi Sikh (Bhai Sobha Singh) artist who after austere meditation claimed the images came to his mind (he never claimed that this was a divine inspiration - but rather something more surreal). These are the most popular images seen nowadays in many Sikh homes.

Sikhi has a tradition of art and much of our history can be seen expressed in artwork.
