Summary

Description
English: A Hukamnama (the word 'Hukamnama' in Sikhism, used in the historical sense, refers to the issued edict, proclamation, order, or injunction by the Sikh gurus or their officiated followers and associates) written on April 12th, 1759 and issued on behalf of "Khalsa Ji" [sic]. The persons it was addressed to were Bhai Mehar Singh and Bhai Mahboob, residents of Patna, and requests a donation (dasvandh; tenth of one's earnings) to go towards the rebuilding of the Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib), which had been desecrated and destroyed by Ahmad Shah Abdali during his invasion and occupation of Amritsar in 1757, where Baba Deep Singh had been martyred in the attack. This original document was held in the Sikh Reference Library of Amritsar. An image of this document can also be found at: https://twitter.com/NidhanSingb/status/1649092556096176128

Public domain

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
