A peer reviewed article in Sikh Formations: Religion, Culture, Theory, published by Taylor and Francis, tracing how portraits of Guru Nanak became a popular fixture of Sikh homes and gurdwaras from the Singh Sabha Movement of the 1870s onward, and the social cohesion those images came to carry across different Sikh factions. Its strength is peer review and a scholarly focus on the specific history of visually representing Guru Nanak, the same underlying question a computer generated on screen likeness raises in a different medium. Its limit is that this atlas could verify its bibliographic record, journal and published abstract directly, but the publisher's full text sat behind an access wall not reachable during research, so it is cited for the fact of sustained scholarly attention to Guru Nanak portraiture and for its published abstract's own findings, not for claims beyond those.

Notes
DOI 10.1080/17448727.2022.2090793. Cited for the broader scholarly context of how Guru Nanak has and has not been visually represented across Sikh history, which frames why a wholly CGI, no-actor depiction remained controversial rather than settled.
