Summary

Description
English: Janamsakhi painting depicting the birth of Guru Nanak. The baby Nanak is being held by his father, Mehta Kalu. The painting shows the Muslim midwife Daultan [alt. known as 'Daluti Dai', who was the caretaker or nanny], Mehta Kalu (Guru Nanak's father) holding baby Nanak, and lastly Pandit Hardayal. This Janamsakhi manuscript is kept in the collection of the Govt. Museum and Art Gallery, Chandigarh. More information:

The first Folio depicts the heavenly birthplace of Guru Nanak Dev ji. The figure on the right is Mehto, while the central figure is holding a newborn infant which is Guru Nanak Dev ji in the arms of his father. The woman on the side is Daluti dai, who was the caretaker or nanny. The captured moment pertains to a dialogue in which Mehto recounts the fortuitous birth of Nanak Dev ji at amrit vela (dawn).
