Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji – 18th Century Mughal Miniature
A finely executed 18th-century Mughal miniature depicting Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji (1621–1675), the Ninth Sikh Guru. Painted in gouache heightened with gold on paper, the composition exemplifies the refined artistic traditions of the Mughal atelier while preserving the distinctive reverence accorded to the Guru within Sikh visual culture.
The portrait presents Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji standing upon a grassy knoll beneath the warm glow of a setting sun, dressed in elegant white robes enriched with delicate floral illumination. One hand gently holds a small jewel, while the other rests upon the hilt of a katar, with a long sword suspended at his side. Framed within illuminated cream borders decorated with gold, the miniature reflects the exceptional craftsmanship, precision, and ornamental beauty characteristic of eighteenth-century Indian manuscript painting.
This restoration forms part of the Old Heritage Collection, an ongoing initiative dedicated to preserving historically significant Sikh artworks through careful digital restoration. The work focuses on faithful visual preservation rather than reinterpretation, enhancing clarity, tonal balance, colour fidelity, and recovering lost detail while preserving the historical integrity and artistic character of the original painting.
Available as a digital download and museum-grade fine art prints (framed and unframed), this piece is intended for collectors, scholars, and devotees seeking historically grounded Sikh artwork connected to one of the earliest visual traditions of Sikh portraiture.
