The image showcases an English School's depiction of an Akali, a revered figure in Sikhism known for their unwavering devotion and courage. In this artwork, we witness the Akali adorned in traditional attire, exuding regality and strength. Their turban is intricately wrapped, symbolizing honor and dignity. With a stern expression on their face, they embody determination and fearlessness. The Illustrated London News published this illustration on November 28th, 1857 during a time when India was grappling with political unrest under British colonial rule.
