URL: https://www.flickr.com/photos/akaalsingh/3366439565/ Gurdwara Tilak Asthan (Garhi Sahib) Chamkaur Sahib 1920s (K.S. Nabha). This photograph was published in the first edition of Mahan Kosh (1930).
A scan of the page in a literature work this photograph was published in can be viewed at: [1] "This picture is of the 'Kachi Garhi' at Chamkaur Sahib - also known as 'Garhi Sahib' and 'Tilak Asthan' - the site commemorates a hugely significant event in Sikh History - it is here that Guru Sahib's utterance that one Sikh would fight a hundred and twenty five thousand (sava lakh) was realised - it is the scene of the Shaheedi (martydom) of the Older Sahibzadas, Baba Ajit singh Ji and Baba Jujhar Singh Ji, and Guru Sahibs Beloved Singhs. The popular image of Chamkaur Garhi is of large fort - however it was a kachi garhi - more like a strong house with thick walls and one secure entrance. It is known as 'Tilak asthan' as it is here that Guru Sahib accepted the Benti of the Panj Piare and left the 'garhi' - thereby conferring the 'Guru-ship' onto the Guru Panth - The Khalsa. This picture Shows the original 'Kachi Garhi' with the Gurdwara built by the Maharaja of Patiala, Karam Singh." (description taken from: link) |

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
