Image courtesy of S. Khursheed Qadri. Mural of Banda Singh Bahadur (seated right) with his son (seated left; perhaps Ranjit Singh [Sodhi], as his other son, Ajai Singh, was martyred at the age of four and the individual depicted in the mural is much older) with both being being served by fly-whisk (chaur sahib) attendants. They are wearing red, the characteristic colour of the historical Bandai Khalsa (with followers known as Bandais) sect.
