Bhai Mati Das Ji attained martyrdom at ‘Chandni Chowk’ in Delhi in 1675.

Paintings of Bhai Mati Das Ji being sawn across from head to loins are available on Internet. In most of such paintings, Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji is not shown. Historically, Bhai Mati Das Ji attained martyrdom in the holy presence of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib.

In ‘Sahibzada Baba Ajit Singh Library and Museum’, Gurdwara Sri Paunta Sahib, Himachal Pradesh, India, a painting by Kirpal Singh has been displayed, in which Bhai Mati Das Ji has been shown attaining martyrdom in the presence of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji.

I am sharing the picture here with my readers.
