English: Gilded panel depicting bhagat Dhanna the Jat and his life-story (sakhi) from Gurdwara Baba Atal Rai, Amritsar. Gilded Panel, embossed brass, plated in gold, made by the craftsmen of Kucha Fakirkhana, Amritsar in 1904. Photographed by T.S. Randhawa.
"The panel shows various scenes from the famous Sakhi of Dhanna and the 'Thakaar' (idol) given to him by a Brahmin. In the sakhi Dhanna asks a brahmin for an idol, he gives him a four 'ser' weight stone in exchange for a milch cow. Dhanna performs such devoted service to the ‘Thakaar’ that the ‘Formless One’ takes form and appears. In the panel you can see Dhanna and the Brahmin, Dhanna and his wife. You also see ‘Thaakar’ working the 'Halt' (Persian wheel irrigation), working the fields (kiare khaddan) and the tools of a Jat farmer." (description taken from source) "Another plaque illustrates Lord Krishna and Saint Dhanna, which was, according to its inscription, dedicated by Lal Chand Kandhri, son of Bhag Mal Kandhri."
