Summary[edit]
DescriptionGurdwara Baba Atal fresco 37.jpg |
English: "Marriage. Like any ordinary marriage, sister Bebe Nanaki is feeding the mare after decorating it. The baraat (wedding procession) reached Vatala and a person is lighting the firecrackers to celebrate the arrival. The family of bride (Mata Sulakhni) is welcoming the baraat. Another mural in series shows Guru Nanak Dev sitting with baraatis and having food. The villagers are serving it." (The Tribune, India)
Gurdwara Baba Atal fresco depicting a story or scene from the life of Guru Nanak, the first guru and founder of Sikhism. The frescoes of Gurdwara Baba Atal are believed to have been originally painted around the mid-to-late-19th century (though photographer and author Satpal Danish, whom wrote a book on the frescoes, claims they were originally created during Sikh-rule), using Indian red, ochre and other earth colours with gold accents. However, almost all were repainted in a 1971 "renovation" in a very garish manner using artificial colouring and synthetic paint. Many of these frescoes have been destroyed, defaced, or deteriorated through neglect and harmful "renovations" since they were documented in photographs, especially on the ground floor during "kar seva" (renovations) in the 1990's. |
