A Sikh Guru (Perhaps Guru Arjan Dev) Seated in the Golden Temple at Amritsar, Guler, circa 1830
Summary
A Sikh Guru (Perhaps Guru Arjan Dev) Seated in the Golden Temple (also known as the Harmandir Sahib or Darbar Sahib) at Amritsar, Guler, circa 1830. If this depicts Guru Arjan Dev, then this would be the temple in the late 16th (after 1589, when construction of the temple was finished) or early 17th century, probably the latter as it appears there is a manuscript of the Adi Granth in the temple's sanctum sanctorum, which was installed in the temple in the year 1604 according to Sikh history. Painting published in a book titled 'I See No Stranger: Sikh Early Art and Devotion' (2006) by B.N. Goswamy & Caron S.
