Summary

Description
English: Mural depicting Bhai Maharaj Singh (left; Gurmukhi identifying inscription to the top-right of the figure; birth name: Nihal Singh) and Guru Baba Suraj Singh (right) from a Nirmala Sikh temple at Naurangabad, Punjab. Bhai Maharaj Singh was appointed the second head of the Naurangabad dera after the death of its founder, Bir Singh, in 1844.

"He [Maharaj Singh] was arrested in December 1849 at Adampur, near Jalandhar, when he was on a mission to enlist support of Sikh regiments and was deported to Singapore where he died on July 5, 1856." (quote taken from source)

Suraj Singh was presumably the successor of Maharaj Singh as head of the Naurangabad dera.

Photographed by Kanwarjit Singh Kang.

The mural is found within Gurdwara Baba Bir Singh and was painted sometime in the middle of the 19th century.
Date circa mid-19th century
