editDescriptionPainting of three seated Sikh sardars, Nahar Singh, Karam Singh, and Lehna Singh, circa late 18th century.jpg |
English: Painting of three seated Sikh sardars. From left-to-right: Nahar Singh (Sodhi, claimed relative of the Sikh gurus?), Karam Singh Sidhu (of the Shaheedan Misl, died 1794), and Lehna Singh Kahlon (of the Bhangi Misl, also referred to as Lahina Singh Bhangi, died 1797). Circa late 18th century.
"The three chiefs are seated in a row, all bearded, with white turbans. Two wear shawls over their white jamas. They are identified by inscriptions. Nahar (or Nahad) Singh acquired the ilaka (territory) of Anandpur and Makhowal worth 3 lakhs a year, Karam Singh was a Sidhu Jat of a village of Lahore; he commanded nearly 300 horses, and took possession of a number of villages in the parghanas of Shahzadpur and Kesari in Ambala district. Lehna Singh was amongst the Lahore Chiefs who negotiated with James Brown in 1783." (Victoria & Albert Museum description) Further reading: https://twitter.com/Kharagket/status/1328861300965978112 |
