Baarahmaha - In paintings

Sangraand marks the beginning of each of the 12 months of the Sikh calendar (Nanakshahi calendar). Each month has been spoken of and described in the Sikh holy scripture - Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji - by the Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Arjan Dev ji.

It is a practice in Sikhism, that the Sangraand day is marked by reading of the specific portion of the verse ("Baarahmaha"), which is related to the message of the Almighty, along with the Hukamnaama.

Below are artistic impressions of each of the 12 months of the Sikh calendar, painted by Sardar Davinder Singh.
