Summary
| Description |
English: Fresco of Kharag Singh (left) and Naina Singh (right) 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.
Background info on the life of Kharag Singh: "Baba Kharag Singh - He was nephew of Akali Baba Naina Singh ji and lived with him at Sri Akaal Bunga. After Babaji went to sachkhand, Baba Kharag Singh ji assisted Akali Baba Phoola Singh in sewa of Sri Akaal Bunga Sahib. While Akali Baba Phoola Singh ji went for political negotiations or military campaigns, Baba Kharag Singh ji stayed back and looked after sewa."
