Summary

Description
English: A Sikh Guru (Perhaps Guru Arjan Dev) Seated in the Golden Temple (also known as the Harmandir Sahib or Darbar Sahib) at Amritsar, Guler, circa 1820's–1830's. If this depicts Guru Arjan Dev, then this would be the temple in the late 16th (after 1589, when construction of the temple was finished) or early 17th century, probably the latter as it appears there is a manuscript of the Adi Granth in the temple's sanctum sanctorum, which was installed in the temple in the year 1604 according to Sikh history. Painting published in a book titled 'I See No Stranger: Sikh Early Art and Devotion' (2006) by B.N. Goswamy & Caron S.

"A stunning painting of Darbar Sahib from the Nainsukh of Guler family workshop (1820s). Presumably Guru Arjan with the Adi Granth." (Jvala Singh's description)
