Just one point to remeber.

The Patiala style pugh only came into being about 100 years ago. Before that turbans were circular.

If you look at Sikh art from even 150 years ago it is circular.

yep. you are right about the turban style. And fortunately only the cover and a couple of pages inside the comic feature turbans that give a hint of patiala shahi dastaar. Rest of the comic has circular turbans.

Brilliant...

I love Sikh history and pugh styles in particular fascinate me. :)

***please do not forget the strong females in sikh history (both in a physical sense (mai bhago), and in the emotional maternal sense (mata gujari ji).

It looks like some Sikhs are starting to make serious effort on this as I found a trailer for an animated film about Maharajah Ranjit Singh on Youtube does anybody else know anything about this, how factual is it and how good is it ????

the movie on Maharaja Ranjit singh was released a few months ago. The art director of the movie is the one working on my team to illustrate the comic books.
