Summary

Description
English: Painting of five Sikh gurus (most likely identifiable as Guru Nanak, Guru Hargobind, Guru Gobind Singh, Guru Tegh Bahadur, and Guru Har Rai) and Bhai Mardana, Deccan, circa late 1770's. Kept in the Salar Jung Museum. The museum mistakenly ascribes the depiction of Guru Nanak under the tree as Guru Gobind Singh. In-fact, Guru Gobind Singh is seen in the bottom-right corner, holding an arrow.
