Summary

Description
English: Hukamnama (edict) issued by Guru Har Krishan to the Sangat (Sikh congregation) of Pakpattan.

Nihung Santhia's description: "This image shows a Hukamnama (edict) sent by Sri Guru Harkrishan Sahib Ji to the Sangat of Paakpattan, an area famous for its shrine to Sheikh Farid Sahib Ji. This Hukamnama is addressed to Gursikhs such as Bhai Ani Rai Ji, Bhai Jas Ji, Bhai Ranga Ji, Bhai Hajuri Ji and Bhai Nihchal Ji. Guru Ji instructs the Sangat to always attend the Dharamsaal (place where Saadhsangat gathers) and do 'Aarti Sohila' daily (which can refer to reciting Kirtan Sohila daily and also generally singing the praises of Vaheguru). According to Dr Ganda Singh, this Hukamnama was housed in the Sikh Reference Library, Sri Amritsar Sahib."

The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer .


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term . Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II ( more information ), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions ( more information ).


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag .


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag .
