Sikh Warriors
Sikhs ( or ; pa, ਸਿੱਖ, ' ) are people who adhere to Sikhism (Sikhi), a monotheistic religion that originated in the late 15th century in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent, based on the revelation of Guru Nanak. The term ''Sikh'' has its origin in the word ' (), meaning 'disciple' or 'student'. Male Sikhs generally have ''Singh'' ('lion'/'tiger') as their last name, though not all Singhs are necessarily Sikhs; likewise, female Sikhs have ''Kaur'' ('princess') as their last name. These unique last names were given by the Gurus to allow Sikhs to stand out and also as an act of defiance to India's caste system, which the Gurus were always against. Sikhs strongly believe in the idea of "Sarbat Da Bhala" - "Welfare of all" and are often seen on the frontline to provide humanitarian aid across the world. Sikhs who have undergone the ''Amrit Sanchar'' ('baptism by Khanda'), an initiation ceremony, are from the day of their initiation known as Khalsa, and they mu ...

Fresco Of Guru Hargobind And Bidhi Chand Chhina From The Pre-1984 Akal Takht
Fresco (plural ''frescos'' or ''frescoes'') is a technique of mural painting executed upon freshly laid ("wet") lime plaster. Water is used as the vehicle for the dry-powder pigment to merge with the plaster, and with the setting of the plaster, the painting becomes an integral part of the wall. The word ''fresco'' ( it, affresco) is derived from the Italian adjective ''fresco'' meaning "fresh", and may thus be contrasted with fresco-secco or secco mural painting techniques, which are applied to dried plaster, to supplement painting in fresco. The fresco technique has been employed since antiquity and is closely associated with Italian Renaissance painting. The word ''fresco'' is commonly and inaccurately used in English to refer to any wall painting regardless of the plaster technology or binding medium. This, in part, contributes to a misconception that the most geographically and temporally common wall painting technology was the painting into wet lime plaster. Even in appare ...

Battle Of Amritsar (1634)

The battle took place over two days and was a result of increasing tensions between the Mughal government and Guru Hargobind. Background After persecution from the Mughal government the Sikhs began organizing regular training exercises and became a rallying point for people disaffected by the Mughals. Increasing tensions erupted during a clash between a group of Sikh and Mughal hunting parties. On Vaisaki day, a hunting party of Sikhs set their hawk upon a royal hawk and brought it down.

Sarhali
Sarhali Kalan is a town and a municipal council in Patti subdivision of Tarn Taran district in the Indian state of Punjab. Origins The nearby village of Dadehar is more than 400 year old. It was created by a man named Dadehar who originated from Malwa in search of new land, along with his nephew Sarhali. Both families traveled towards Majha from Malwa across the Sutlej River. Just before sunset, Dadehar rested and chose a place he desired to live on a small hill along with his family. They agreed that Sarhali and his family would walk further north until it was dark, and eventually that would be the nephew's home. To divide the land they also agreed that next morning from the first ray of the sun they would walk towards each other and, where they met, to draw a line to divide the land. There is a myth that Sarhali started walking slightly early, so that the division is not exactly in the middle but closer to Dadehar than Sarhali. Notable people * Baba Gurdit Singh *Praveen Kum ...
