Photographer’s Note

This is a picture of a Sikh Temple (Gurudwara), In fatehgarh Sahib Punjab. Here the two younger sons of Tenth Sikh guru Guru Gobind Singh JI ; Baba Zorawar Singh (Age 9 Yrs) and Baba Fateh Singh (Age 7 Years) were martyred by then general of sirhind. He tried to get them Burried Alive in bricks but unable to do so he ordered to behead them.. the bricks and the walls are still available in the basement of the gurudwara.

This was taken on the first day of Punjab's local Month "Harh". In this picture one of the priests is trying to change the "Poshaka" (Dress/clothing) of "Nishan Sahib"(religious marking flags found at all gurudwaras, so that travellers could identify a gurudwara from far in the days when commuting was mostly through feet/cattle/horses). This person at the time was almost 35 feet high in the air.
