Summary

Description
English: Janamsakhi series painting depicting the search-and-rescue mission launched to recover Guru Nanak from the Kali Bein (the name of the river is 'Vahi Nadi' in some accounts). Perhaps an attempt to recover his assumed drowned corpse. Guru Nanak was believed to have drown in the river after he disappeared into it, as per Sikh lore. Nawab Daulat Khan Lodhi is perhaps depicted in the top-right corner.
