This lithograph, titled Guru Nanak by Anant Shivaji Desai, beautifully depicts Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the revered founder of Sikhism, Seated peacefully beneath a large, shaded tree. The serene setting reflects his deep spirituality and divine wisdom.

Seated beside him are his two devoted companions—Bhai Mardana and Bhai Bala. Bhai Mardana, a skilled musician, is shown playing the rabab, accompanying the Guru’s hymns, while Bhai Bala is depicted respectfully chowring him with a whisk fan, symbolizing reverence and devotion.

The composition captures a sacred moment, emphasizing Guru Nanak’s teachings of unity, humility, and enlightenment.
