The twin Miri-Piri Nishan Sahibs in front of the Akal Takht are visible in this photograph. One is a dark color, likely blue while the other is a light color, likely kesri orange.

A rare photograph where the symbols on the Miri-Piri Nishan Sahibs are clearly visible. In most early photographs the symbols are not visible due to motion blur caused by slow camera shutter speeds. While the darker Nishan Sahib is folded in the wind, the katar dagger above a dhal shield and a straight sword below are clearly visible on the lighter banner. It is interesting to note that the sword has a straight blade and not a curved blade as seen on other 19th century banners.

A Sikh procession with their Nishan Sahibs marches to protest during a campaign for greater Sikh control over their religious places of worship in Punjab under British rule.

The Nishan Sahib has a plain dark background with a katar dagger visible at the bottom of the frontmost Nishan Sahib. Above the katar can be seen the round outlines of a dhal shield. Above the shield, partially obscured except for its tip is a curved sword.

The Nishan Sahib has a light color with a central shield and a bladed weapons above and below a central shield.

The identity of the bladed weapons can not be determined due to the lack of visibility of their handles, but one is likely a katar dagger while the other is a sword, similar to the 1904 photograph of the Miri-Piri Nishan Sahibs at Darbar Sahib.

The large Nishan Sahib behind the Guru has a plain yellow background with an arrangement of weapons.

Similar to the weapons found on older Nishan Sahibs, a dhal shield with curved sword can be seen to the right of the bird. To the immediate right of the Guru can be seen be seen the handle of a katar dagger with its two arms and cross braces clearly visible.

A modern khanda emblem can be seen prominently on Baba Deep Singhs turban, but in the background there is a Nishan Sahib with other symbols.

A real-estate company formed in 1912 by early Canadian Sikh immigrants has a letterhead which features a prominent religious emblem.

Within the borders of the outer circle with Kings crown containing the name of the company and a religious greeting is an emblem featuring a large khanda broad sword, a chakkar quoit, two crossed tulwar swords and two banners with dhal shields on them.

The title page of this booklet contains an emblem with all of the elements of the modern khanda symbol plus more.

The symbol depicted contains all of the elements of the modern khanda (the chakkar quoit with the straight bladed khanda through it and two crossed swords on either side) plus a number of additional elements. A bow can be seen within the chakkar behind the khanda sword and two crossed arrows are also visible. Slightly above the two crossed arrows are two crossed banners. A sword appears at the very top of the emblem and two chaurs (fly whisks) can be seen on either side of the emblem below the crossed banners.

At the top center of the painting is a prominent emblem composed of a chakkar quoit with a dhal shield within, a bow with two crossed quivers of arrows behind the shield, two crossed tulwar swords across the face of the shield and a katar dagger at the bottom center of the emblem. At the bottom center of the painting unlike the more complex emblem above can be seen a simple dhal shield with two crossed tulwar swords over it. This configuration may be a military emblem rather than the more prominent emblem above which may be a religious emblem.

Created by Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala, this was the highest order of the Kingdom. The Badge of Phul consists of a royal crown over a chakkar quoit with a central khanda sword and two small crossed swords below. Within the chakkar on either side of the khanda sword can be seen religious symbols of the Hindus (trident) and Muslims (crescent moon and star), likely recognizing the non-Sikh subjects of the kingdom.

A large emblem appears on the door panels composed of a chakkar quoit with large central khanda sword and two crossed axes below the chakkar. Completely inside the chakkar from handle to blade tip are two curved swords on either side of the khanda sword.

In addition to the arrangement of weapons decorative ornamentation can be seen inside the chakkar below the sword handles and between the axe handles.

The front piece of this book contains a painting of the Sikh Gurus. On the alter of Sri Guru Granth Sahib appears a chakkar quoit with a central khanda sword and two modern kirpans on either side with blades facing inwards.

The decorative rumala covering of the Gurdwara alter has the emblem of a chakkar quoit with a khanda sword at its center. The rumalla is likely an older textile brought to the Gurdwara by Sikh immigrants from an earlier era.
