English: Mohkam Singh, one of the inaugural/original Panj Pyare, depicted in an old Sikh fresco from inside an abandoned Sikh samadhi located in Kot Fateh Khan, Attock, Punjab, Pakistan. The names of the person depicted is written in larivar (traditional method of writing Gurmukhi that is unbroken with no spacing between words; scriptio continua) Gurmukhi above their image. The fresco art has been defaced and deteriorated over the years from neglect and vandalism but is still legible enough to identify the individuals in the artwork. This image has been cropped out of a photograph of the entire original fresco. Mohkam Singh's (ਮੋਹਕਮ ਸਿੰਘ in modern spelling) name was written as "ਮੋ...ਮਸਿੰਘ" (some parts not legible any longer due to deterioration and defacement of the art but enough is extant for an identification to be made). He is positioned fifth from left and wearing blue attire.
