New Delhi, December 4
An exhibition on life of the Ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Teg Bahadur, put up in Gurdwara Bangla Sahib here on Saturday was thronged by devotees of all ages.
The exhibition, however, was a wholesome montage of more than 40 pictorial frames depicting the celebrated moments in the lives of all Sikh Gurus.
While some of the frames were purely edifying, loaded with mystical frisson of spiritual excitement for some of the apparently spell-bound devotees, the others were a lesson in religion-spiritual historicity of Sikhism.
A frame of painting of Bhai Jaita, who was later lionised as Baba Jiwan Singh, reverently carrying the severed head of martyred Guru Teg Bahadur from Delhi to Anandpur Sahib (Punjab) to be handed over to latter’s son Guru Gobind Singh apparently touched a deep chord among the visitors. Bhai Jaita, a Sikh general, who hailed from a lower caste, was an associate of Guru Gobind Singh.
