Cultural Heritage
The historical gravity of Fatehgarh Sahib is profoundly etched in the early 18th century, specifically 1705 CE, when the site, then known as Sirhind, became the tragic stage for the martyrdom of Sahibzadas Baba Zorawar Singh and Baba Fateh Singh, the younger sons of Guru Gobind Singh. Imprisoned in the *Thanda Burj*, a cold tower within the Sirhind fort, alongside their grandmother Mata Gujri, their steadfast refusal to convert to Islam under the orders of Mughal Faujdar Wazir Khan culminated in their bricking alive. This horrific act, unprecedented in its cruelty against such young children, galvanized the Sikh community and marked a critical turning point in their struggle against Mughal tyranny. The site thus became a potent symbol of ultimate sacrifice (*shahadat*) and unwavering faith (*dharam*). Following this profound tragedy, the historical trajectory of Sirhind shifted dramatically with the advent of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur. In 1710 CE, Banda Singh Bahadur led a fierce campaign, capturing Sirhind and dismantling the Mughal administration responsible for the Sahibzadas' martyrdom, thereby avenging the sacrilege. This victory was not merely a military triumph but a symbolic reclamation of a site imbued with immense spiritual and emotional resonance for Sikhs. The initial commemorative structure, *Bhora Sahib*, an underground shrine marking the exact spot of the Sahibzadas' bricking, was constructed in 1764 CE by the Sikh Misls, laying the foundational stone for the expansive Gurdwara complex that would later formally emerge in 1840 CE, solidifying its place as a pivotal historical monument.
