Collection: Akaalees
The Akaalees Collection brings together rare and historic depictions of the Akali-Nihang warriors of the Sikh tradition, drawn from 19th-century paintings, lithographs, and colonial-era records. These artworks capture the martial, spiritual, and symbolic essence of the “tyar bar tyar” Nihang order, recognized by their distinctive blue attire, towering dastars (turbans), and heavy armaments.
Highlights of the Collection:
- An Akaali and Akalian (Lahore or Amritsar, 19th century) – A rare view of Nihangs in their local context.
- A Sikh Akali-Nihang with His Wife and Child – Humanizing the warrior, this piece depicts family life.
- Tanjore-Style Painting of a Sikh Couple – A fusion of South Indian painting style with Sikh subjects.
- A Seik and a Sepoy in the French Service – Early European rendering, showing Sikh identity in cross-cultural settings.
- Akalees, from Portraits of the Princes and People of India by Emily Eden (1844) – One of the most circulated early colonial-era images of Akalis.
- The ‘Textbook’ Akali Nihang, Fully Armed and ‘Tyar Bar Tyar’ – A canonical martial representation of the warrior order.
