SIKH RELIGIOUS MINIATURE ART PAINTING – Sikh religious painting style

DESCRIPTION: This beautiful Sikh Painting "Khalsa as Lion" of Sikh religious painting style, depicts –

In this Sikh religious painting Guru Gobind Singh (1666-1708) inaugurated the Khalsa in 1699 on Baisakhi (the first day of the year in North India, March 30th). On this day Gobind summoned the entire Sikh Panth to Anandpur to witness the most important day in Sikh History. Before the congregation Gobind appeared with drawn sword and proclaimed that his sword was hungry for a Sikh head; who would volunteer to sacrifice their life for the Guru

Eventually one devout Sikh stood up (Daya Singh). The Guru took him behind a screen and came back with a sword dripping of blood. Four more eventually volunteered with the same consequence. After the fifth, the Guru brought all five from behind the screen alive; five goats had been killed instead. This was a test devised by the Guru to select the most loyal and devout of his Sikhs who would form the core of the new Khalsa. These are known as the Cherished Five (Panj Piare).

He then initiated them all by a ceremony called Khande di Pahul, where he made them drink water (pahul) stirred by a double-edged sword (khanda) after he had chanted special hymns from the Adi Granth during the stirring. These five became the first members of the Khalsa (Arabic/Persian for 'pure, elect') who were renamed Singhs (Lions). The Guru then, quite uniquely, asked them to baptise him into this new order, an unprecedented reversal of the Guru-disciple relationship. They did, and from that point the Guru was known as Guru Gobind Singh, the only Guru to have 'Singh' after his name.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
COLORS: These vibrant colors used in Sikh Painting are natural earth color. Stone colors are just like the water colors made from stones. The artists themselves prepare these to make the gorgeous Indian painting. The raw materials include for example, vegetables and malachite (for green), fruits, mustard oil (for black), soil (for yellow), lime (for white), indigo and lapis lazuli (for blue). In olden days, eggs, gold powder, silver foil, was also used. Burnt wood was used for making the initial sketches. This is a unique method of preparation of colors has been passed down from generations, since hundreds of years ago, when it was discovered. That’s why Sikh Painting is having prestige in the field of Arts.

PURE GOLD: To make Sikh Painting precious, we are using 24 carat pure gold at ornaments and dresses in painting, as it was really used by Royal persons in olden days. It is applied with the help of the brush as a color. This unique Indian method to convert gold in to liquid form has been passed down from generations, since hundreds of years ago. So the Sikh Painting is really precious.

BRUSHES: These special brushes are made from the hair of the tails of squirrels and kittens, hair from the inner ears of sheep.

Therefore the Sikh Painting is having such stunning miniature artwork.

TIME REQUIRED: It all depends on the art work and sizes to be done. Normally it takes 10 to 15 days to make such type Sikh Painting of miniature artworks. Many times for special & detailed artwork, the time taken extends up to 1 month to 6 months. So, we can’t predict the exact time to make such attractive Indian Painting.

LIQUID IS HARMFUL: It is a harmful situation for water color paintings because the colors used in these paintings can easily dilute in water. It means any washing activity is injurious for artwork. So, you have to save Sikh Painting from water or any liquid.
