Summary
[edit]DescriptionGurdwara Baba Atal fresco 43.jpg |
English: "Udasis. I. To spread his teachings and holy messages, the Guru started a journey called Udasis. Bhai Farinda, a rabab maker, presented a rabab to the Guru in jungle. Bahi Mardana was also siting with him, who was along with Guru Nanak throughout his journey.
II. Before leaving Talwandi, Guru Nanak met Rai Bhular Bhatti along with his father and uncle Lalu. He gave a message that everything was in the order of God. Rai Bhular bowed in front of the Guru. III. During Udasi, Guru met Bhai Lalo, a poor carpenter. Malik Bhago, the landlord of the area, asked Nanak to stay at his home. The Guru took dry chapatti of Lalo in his right hand and Malik Bhago’s fried puri in his left hand. When he squeezed the right hand, people present there saw drops of milk dripping from it and when he pressed the left hand, people saw blood dripping from Malik Bhago’s puri. IV. Karoria, a revenue collector met Guru outside the village and offered that he will construct a palace for him. The Guru asked to build Kartarpur on the name of Kartar (creator)." (The Tribune, India) Gurdwara Baba Atal fresco depicting a story or scene from the life of Guru Nanak, the first guru and founder of Sikhism. The frescoes of Gurdwara Baba Atal are believed to have been originally painted around the mid-to-late-19th century (though photographer and author Satpal Danish, whom wrote a book on the frescoes, claims they were originally created during Sikh-rule), 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. Many of these frescoes have been destroyed, defaced, or deteriorated through neglect and harmful "renovations" since they were documented in photographs, especially on the ground floor during "kar seva" (renovations) in the 1990's. |
