Gurdwara Sri Fatehgarh Sahib is the main gurdwara complex at Fatehgarh Sahib (near Sirhind), built to honour the martyrdom of the two younger Sahibzadas of Guru Gobind Singh. The white complex has domes, a large diwan hall, underground Bhora Sahib, and other associated shrines, all set within a walled campus that draws pilgrims year-round.
About this place
History & highlights
In 1705, the younger sons of Guru Gobind Singh—Sahibzada Fateh Singh (about 7) and Sahibzada Zorawar Singh (about 9)—were captured at Sirhind and ordered by Mughal governor Wazir Khan to convert to Islam. When they refused, they were bricked alive at this spot. Sikhs later named the town Fatehgarh Sahib in memory of the younger son and built a gurdwara over the martyrdom site. Over the 18th–19th centuries, Sikh rulers and sangats expanded the complex. Today it is a major pilgrimage centre, with annual Shaheedi Jor Mel gatherings commemorating the Sahibzadas’ sacrifice.
