English: Harmandir Sahib mural (fresco) depicting Guru Gobind Singh on horseback with his retinue from within the Golden Temple shrine, ca.1820's–1830's. As per Kanwarjit Singh Kang (1988), Guru Gobind Singh is depicted riding away from Anandpur Fort (Qila) with his retinue in this painting. It is said to be the only extant mural depicting human figures within the actual shrine of the Golden Temple itself.

An article contained within the 2002 annual issue of the Nishaan Nagaara magazine states the following about the fresco: "The only mural depicting human figures is to be seen on the wall behind the northern narrow stairway leading to the top of the shrine, representing Guru Gobind Singh on horseback. According to the late Bhai Gian Singh Naqqash, it was painted by a Kangra artist specially commissioned by Ranjit Singh for this purpose. It is said to be a true copy of a miniature painting that originally was in the collection of Raja Sansar Chand of Kangra, which Ranjit Singh had intended to get copied in the form of a mural in the Golden Temple. Since the artist of the miniature in question had already died, the mural was executed by the painter's grandson. The name of the painter, however, is not known." Source: link
