Presenting an extremely fine and detailed work of art depicting the sixth Guru of Sikhism - Guru Hargobind.
Guru Hargobind (19 June 1595 – 3 March 1644), revered as the sixth Nanak, was the sixth of ten Gurus of the Sikh religion. He had become Guru at the young age of eleven.
Guru Hargobind introduced the process of militarization to Sikhism, likely as a response to his father's execution and to protect the Sikh community from the Mughals. He symbolized it by wearing two swords, representing the dual concept of miri and piri (temporal power and spiritual authority). In front of the Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar, Guru Hargobind constructed the Akal Takht (the throne of the timeless one). The Akal Takht represents the highest seat of earthly authority of the Khalsa (the collective body of the Sikhs) today.
This brilliant portrait artwork shows the Guruji in his finest bringing out his great character and charisma.
Owning this splendid Sikh art of Guru Hargobind will be a smart way to bring a unique style to your home or office. Buy it today before it is gone.
