The walk continues

Our guide led us through an unremarkable door to show us 'Little Jaipur', a beautiful pink building with incredible artwork and a temple upstairs where the walls were covered in 300-year old handpainted frescoes. Again, the entire place was in disrepair and will likely fall down within a few years.

We were also shown a Sikh ashram below ground level that was created by the son of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism. 

Sikhism is an Indian religion and philosophy that originated in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent around the end of the 15th century CE. It is one of the most recently founded major religions and is followed by 25–30 million adherents, known as Sikhs.

Sikhism developed from the spiritual teachings of Guru Nanak (1469–1539), the faith's first guru, and the nine Sikh gurus who succeeded him. The tenth guru, Guru Gobind Singh (1666–1708), named the Guru Granth Sahib, which is the central religious scripture in Sikhism, as his successor. This brought the line of human gurus to a close. Sikhs regard the Guru Granth Sahib as the 11th and eternally living guru.Read more
