Sikh

Examples of Sikh in the following topics:

• Nayak Painting

  • There are also many instances when Jain, Sikh, Muslim, other religious and even secular subjects were depicted in Thanjavur paintings.

• Rituals

  • Similarly, if a Guru Granth Sahib, a Sikh religious text, is repaired by a conservator, instead of ceremoniously destroyed, its cultural meaning is likewise obliterated.

• Mughal Dynasty

  • Mughal architecture found its way into local Indian architecture, most conspicuously in the palaces built by Rajputs and Sikh rulers.

• Luxury Arts

  • The later Mughal Empire period is most notable for luxury arts of the court, and Mughal styles heavily influenced local Hindu and later Sikh rulers as well.

• Indian Architecture under British Imperialism

  • The British arrived in India in 1615; over the centuries, they gradually overthrew the Maratha and Sikh empires and other small independent kingdoms.

• Painting of the Mughal Period

  • While the art form had gathered sufficient momentum to invite patronage in other courts—Muslim, Hindu, and Sikh alike—the absence of strong imperial backing ushered in a decline of the art form.
