This weekend I began colouring the Blind
Chakram on Howdah. So far I am liking the dark blue figure silhouetted
against the saturated reds and yellows.

Like a Thirsty Man
ਹਰਿ ਦਰਸਨ ਕਉ ਮੇਰਾ ਮਨੁ ਬਹੁ ਤਪਤੈ ਜਿਉ ਤ੍ਰਿਖਾਵੰਤੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਨੀਰ ॥੧॥
My mind yearns so deeply for His Darshan the way a thirsty man yearns for water. ||1|| - Guru Ramdas Ji

Blind Chakram on Howdah (WIP)
I have been waiting for a long time to work on such a piece! So this year, I was finally able to nail down a concept and composition that I really like. I hope you are as excited to see it progress, as I am.
Prints will be available. If you like what you see, you can pre-order a print and help fund this project and others like it. Please email me at bhagatbedi@gmail.com for more details.
This fantasy illustration is currently a work in progress. The idea is that the nihang is physically blind, the larhs of his pag cover his eyes. His tall turban serves as a lightning rod, and when struck by lightning, it empowers him! He is marching into battle, mounted atop a howdah (on a four-tusked elephant's back) and hurling lightning chakkars into the opposing hordes of rakshas and other demonic entities.

Guru Arjun Dev ji's Martyrdom
This month was Guru Arjun Dev ji's shaheedi divas, the day when he was martyred after being tortured on a hot plate.
This painting shows Guru Arjun Dev ji peacefully meditating while being tortured. Guru Sahib was made to sit on a hot plate and had hot sand poured over his head and body. Even though he was put through immense pain, he was in profound peace with the moment, with the situation he found himself in. One day while meditating on Guru Sahib’s poetry and the scene of his martyrdom, I had such a profound experience of Guru Sahib, an experience so emotionally moving and so overwhelmingly blissful that I knew I had to paint this scene.

In other news, Zuber and I have been getting back to the Mod for AoE 3. Now that his summer holidays have begun, he's getting started with implementing Punjab into the game. As for me, I've been learning how to design scenarios, to create good layouts and to be able to set off certain effects that advance the storyline. I will share more info as the mod develops.

Golden Temple
What Shri Harimandir Sahib aka Golden Temple might have looked like before it was covered in gold and marble. It's humble origins are of mud and brick. Surrounded by only a pool and trees as it has yet to develop into a large urban community.
