Explanation:

The Sakhis (stories) in Janam Sakhi Manuscripts were like an artistic instrument to spread and share the teachings of the Gurus more effectively with the help of visuals as these facilitated the understanding of thought and helped the people to relate to the age and the legend. They gained momentum after the establishment of the Khalsa Panth and became extremely popular thereafter. The visual impact of the painted Janam Sakhis was instant in comparison to the written and oral Janam Sakhis.
