Summary

DescriptionFresco of Bijla Singh from Gurdwara Baba Atal.jpg
English: Fresco of Bijla Singh from Gurdwara Baba Atal, Amritsar. Bijla Singh may have been an accomplice of Baba Deep Singh and belonged to the Shaheedan Misl. The frescoes of Gurdwara Baba Atal are believed to have been originally painted around the mid-to-late-19th century, 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.

Quote: "Baba Bijla Singh ji – A Brave warrior of Misl Shaheedan, he earned this name because of his skill in using Kirpan and other Shastars on enemies. He struck his enemies with lightening speed and led attacks of Khalsa Fauj from front. Babaji attained Shaheedi at a very young age." (taken from: https://www.instagram.com/p/CZFvnYOM8RA/
