Description
English: Guru Hargobind and Baba Bidhi Chand painting from the pre-1984 Akal Takht complex.

Grey-scale photographs showing the entirety of this same fresco (when it was likely in a better condition, as the Gurmukhi inscription is still legible and not faded) can be found at: https://twitter.com/moomjamma/status/1121819650185158656 & https://www.tribuneindia.com/2008/20080518/spectrum/main3.htm

"Lost fresco from Sri Akal Takht, Baba Bidhi Chand presents ‘Dilbagh and Gulbagh’ the horses stolen by the Mughals, that he retrieved from Lahore Fort, to Guru Hargobind Sahib" (Arshi 1985)
