Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib, Sikh temple in Sirhind-Fategarh, India

Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib is a Sikh temple in Sirhind-Fategarh with multiple shrines and sacred sections marking key moments in Sikh history. The complex includes structures like Bhora Sahib and the Thanda Burj, which together form a connected place of worship.

Guru Gobind Singh's sons Zorawar Singh, 9, and Fateh Singh, 7, were seized after their cook Gangu betrayed them to Wazir Khan, governor of Sirhind; they refused to convert to Islam and were bricked up alive on 9 December 1705. Sikhs under Banda Singh Bahadur took the town in 1710 and razed Ferozshah Tughlaq's fort. The main gurdwara was built in 1844 under Maharaja Karam Singh of Patiala, later rebuilt by Kar Seva.

The complex serves as a gathering place where free meals are offered daily to all visitors regardless of background or belief. This practice reflects core Sikh values of equality and communal sharing.

The complex lies in Fatehgarh Sahib, on the Sirhind-Chandigarh road; Gurdwara Jyoti Sarup, the cremation site, is about 1.5 km southeast of the main shrine. The Shaheedi Jor Mela fills the grounds each December, so plan around the crowds then. Visitors cover their heads and remove shoes before entering the shrines.

The Thanda Burj, or "cold tower," is a lesser-visited section of the complex with its own story of hardship and endurance. This structure marks where family members were held during a harsh winter, adding another layer of human meaning to the grounds.
