Image: Guru Gobind Singh contemporary painting
Description: Guru Gobind Singh seated while being fanned by an attendant: a contemporary painting found in a Dasam Granth manuscript known as the Anandpuri Hazuri bir. Probably early 1700's near the end of his life. Dating based on other contemporary images from circa 1701 which show a much younger-looking Guru in-comparison to this portrayal. A Katar (Indic push dagger), bow, arrow, and sheathed sword is visible on the Guru's person. Further reading: Malhotra, Karamjit K. “Professor J.S.
