Painting Depicting Amritsar Sells For 92k


Recommended Posts

Great painting so colorful , kinda reminds me Guru nanak dev maharaj eternal divine garden full of unique flowers. Notice how life in the painting is full in harmony without any conflicts.

It is seriously challenges all this pseudo bhausaria victorian abrahamic black and white, fearmongering narrative been pushed fwd out in west by ultra orthodox bunch super imposing projecting themselves on rest of bigger panth. Also big thanks to http://www.panjabdigilib.org/webuser/searches/mainpage.jsp for their amazing seva for perserving old puratan sikhi, puratan sikhi text /puratan pictures relics speaks for itself.

there are muslims doing namaz , Hindus doing puja, baajigars doing tricks, another getting his goat to do tricks , rich women getting help from maidservants, a portrait painter holding a painting of a Sikh elite , women folk doing housework , laughing , doing gidda...just a whole lot of living going on ...not necessarily anything sikh just located in Amritsar is all.

Thanks for pointing it out, i didnt notice more diversity in the picture..It even looks better when everyone is living in harmony including sikh woman.
