| DescriptionFresco depicting Bhai Makhan Shah Labana at-sea, from Gurdwara Baba Bakala.png |
English: Fresco depicting Bhai Makhan Shah Labana at-sea, from Gurdwara Baba Bakala. The film-crew shot scenes of Gurdwara Baba Bakala Sahib and its original frescoes. I am not sure if this particular fresco is still extant in its original form, it probably has been lost/painted over/repainted using artificial paints/non-trad methods or just white-washed.
Explanation: Baba Makhan Shah Labana, a devout Sikh and wealthy trader, once faced a terrifying storm at sea. As waves crashed over his ship and death seemed certain, he folded his hands and prayed. Miraculously, the storm calmed. The ship survived. Note: 'Labana' is alt. spelt as 'Lubana'. The murals (specifically, frescoes) of the main Sikh shrine at Baba Bakala in Punjab, India, were originally painted by two famous Sikh muralists, named Jaimal Singh Naqqash (1860–1916) and Mehtab Singh Naqqash (1871–1940), in either the late 19th or early 20th century (more likely the latter date as some events depicted in the murals, such as the Nankana Sahib massacre or Jaito Morcha movement occurred in the early decades of the 20th century). However, comparing recent images of the murals to older ones reveals they have since been "retouched" or "repainted", perhaps using non-traditional methods/materials, and thus the authenticity of the paintings in their current-state are up for debate regarding their resemblance to how the images were originally painted by the original creators/artists. |
