A MINIATURE PAINTING OF GURU HARGOBIND
India, 19th century. Gouache and ink on paper. Depicted, seated on a large pillow on a terrace, holding a long string of prayer beads in one hand, meditating, with no signs of royalty around him. Wearing white jamas and a turban. Within a blue border decorated with floral scroll.

Guru Hargobind was the first of the Sikh Gurus to outright militarize, by introducing the idea of Miri-Piri (represented by dual swords) — the duty of Sikhs to be involved in temporal and political affairs (Miri), as well as spiritual learnings (Piri).
