Summary
| Description |
English: Misl-era Sikhs with dancing and singing women, now in the Toor Collection. According to Jvala Singh (historian), a Prem Sumarag reference details how a Sikh ruler should keep dancing girls who sing kirtan (Sikh devotional hymns and music).
"Dancing girls is not the correct term to be frank, the term used is ਪਾਤ੍ਰਾ , more meaning ਨਾਇਕਾ heroine, entertainers, courtesans (but not in the way meaning prostitute) - finding a definition which doesn't arise Western notions surrounding this subject is difficult." (Jvala Singh, 2022) |
