The goal of Janam Sakhis was to establish Guru Nanak Dev's spiritual supremacy. Janam Sakhis were historically inaccurate and based on false information. The Sakhis' narrative and literary worth are enhanced by their mythological flavor. For historians, these Janam Sakhis were veritable gold mines of knowledge. As these paintings caught the zeitgeist of the time when these episodes occurred, they provide light on the social, political, and religious aspects of the day. Characters, their clothing and accessories, mannerisms, and other features, as well as geographical data, might all be deduced from these paintings. It provided a good overview of the prevailing socio-economic and cultural milieu of the time. The paintings that accompanied the Janam Sakhis were a one-of-a-kind work of Sikh art, and their aesthetic value is equal to the Janam Sakhis' literary excellence. The narrative, when combined with the paintings, became a part of not just holy texts, but also of respectable art, establishing its own paradigm of value and worth. Though there is considerable data accessible for the research on the text and paintings of the Janam Sakhi, after thorough examination of the material, I discovered that none of the studies address the aesthetics and artistic aspects of the paintings of B40 Janam Sakhi. With this in mind, I've chosen to devote my complete attention to this issue in order to demonstrate the true value of these paintings, which are a treasure trove of our Sikh Art Heritage.
