| Description |
English:
Bhagavad Gita is one of the scriptures of Hinduism, its best known. It has been widely translated in Indian languages as well as numerous non-Indian languages. Over 200 translations exist in the English language alone, with the first published in 1785 by Charles Wilkins.
The above image shows the opening pages of chapter 3 (verses 1-2 only, verse 3 partial) of the Bhagavad Gita in Gurmukhi script. A part of verse 2.72 is also visible at the top. The entire Bhagavad Gita manuscript in Gurmukhi script was digitized by the Punjab University (Chandigarh, India) under the eGangotri-Vaidika Bharara initiative, then released under Creative Commons license. This is one of many historic manuscripts digitization initiatives underway in India and Nepal in public, private and monastic institutions. This is a photograph of a 2-D manuscript page produced in late 18th or early 19th century. Wikimedia commons PD-Art licensing guidelines apply. |
