Cultural & Spiritual Significance
Zorawar Singh and Fateh Singh (aged 9 and 7 years respectively) along with Mata Gujri, mother of Guru Gobind Singh were imprisoned by the governor of Sirhind, Wazir Khan. He offered them treasure and easy lives if they would only convert to Islam, but they refused and stuck their faith in Sikhism. They were entombed alive by being bricked into a wall on 26 December 1705, but the wall collapsed. Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib, 5 km (3.1 mi) north of the Sirhind marks the site of their live entombment. Their mortal remains were cremated at a nearby place, where Gurdwara Jyoti Sarup is situated
