| Description |
English: The cosmic lotus Mahakala and the Ten Sikh Gurus.
Quote: "A twelve petalled cosmic lotus. At its centre is Sodhi Bhan Singh paying respects to Maha Kal and Maha Kali. The Guru, their wives and children are depicted in ten of the twelve surrounding petals. The remaining two petals house ancestral figures in the Sodhi’s guru lineage, Surajbans and Kashyap Rishi. This loose folio was created by Miha Singh of Kashmir between 1839-1843. Dasam Granth, Bachittar Natak, Ang 113-144, illustrates the origins of the Sodhi lineage up unti the times of the gurus." (quote from https://ramblingsofasikh.tumblr.com/post/12850888057/a-twelve-petalled-cosmic-lotus-at-its-centre-is) Published in 'In the Master's Presence: The Sikhs of Hazoor Sahib' on pages 26–27. Description of the artwork from there: "OPPOSITE: This twelve-petalled 'cosmic lotus' shows at its centre Sodhi Bhan Singh worshipping Maha-Kal and Maha-Kali. The Sikh Gurus with their wives, children and followers, are shown in ten petals, while two others depict ancestral figures in the Sodhi's guru-lineage, Surajbans and Kashyap Rishi. This loose folio, painted by Miha Singh of Kashmir, was probably once appended to an Adi Guru Granth Sahib manuscript commissioned by the Sodhi around 1839-1843" |
