The Sikh guru’s photographs r not real It is just a perception of the people who drew it This is not allowed we r supposed to be walking on the teachings of the guru and worshiping only the oneness which the gurus have enlightened us with their teachings
None of the photograph of any Sikh Guru Sahib is real. A Sikh is not supposed to worship any photograph or sculpture.
Sikhism does not accept the worship of photographs. Those who do not believe in one God, only go for multiple ones.

Photographs are man made. How can these be God? Akal Purkh is everlasting and can never be destroyed.
Sikhism believes in getting enlightenment with the help of Shabad Guru, so that we can have a happy and contented life.
