1 - Guru Angad Dev Ji Portrait from Art of Punjab

Unique one-of-a kind artwork by Kanwar Singh.

Noted Sikh artist Kanwar Singh has gifted this beautiful portrait of Guru Angad Dev ji. The piece combines digital art with hand-painted highlights on canvas.

Guru Angad Sahib prepares to write the Gurmukhi alphabet.

Before he left his body, Guru Nanak Sahib passed on the Guruship of the Sikh Panth to Bhai Lehna. Lehna, through a series of tests, had proven his worth as the successor to Guru Nanak. Guru Nanak gave a new name to Lehna: Guru Angad Sahib. Angad means “of my body”. Guru Angad is remembered for his refinement and standardization of the Gurmukhi script. This is the script of the Sikhs and is one of the two standard alphabets used for the Punjabi language today.

This painting was created by artist Kanwar Singh to reflect Guru Angad's dedication to furthering Guru Nanak's mission by revealing the Gurmukhi script to the fledgling Sikh Panth.
