From the archive record

This archival footage documents Sikh devotees performing Isnaan (holy bathing) in the sacred Sarovar of Anandpur Sahib, located beside Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib in Punjab, India. Large numbers of pilgrims enter the holy water as part of their religious observance, while others gather along the ghats surrounding the tank. The white domes of Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib, one of the five Takhts of Sikhism and the site where Guru Gobind Singh Ji founded the Khalsa in 1699, are visible on the hill in the background, overlooking the continuous flow of worshippers.
