Fresco of Hanuman Singh from Gurdwara Baba Atal, Amritsar. The frescoes of Gurdwara Baba Atal are believed to have been originally painted around the mid-to-late-19th century, using Indian red, ochre and other earth colours with gold accents. However, almost all were repainted in a 1971 "renovation" in a very garish manner using artificial colouring and synthetic paint. Please see the original upload of this file to see the Gurmukhi inscription that existed on this fresco before it was whitewashed by renovators.
Painted by Gian Singh Naqqash, Jaimal Singh Naqqash (1860–1916), Mehtab Singh Naqqash (1871–1940), and Hukum Singh. The word 'Naqqash' means 'artist'. Originally the work had been done by several artists during Sikh-rule.
