Sirhind, a historic town in the Fatehgarh Sahib district of Punjab, India, is a place steeped in rich history and cultural significance. Known for its strategic location on the Grand Trunk Road, Sirhind has been a witness to numerous historical events and battles. The town's name is derived from the Persian words 'Sar-e-Hind', meaning the 'Gateway of India'. Sirhind was once a thriving city during the Mughal era, serving as a major administrative and military center. It was here that the Mughal Emperor Jahangir built a grand fort, the remnants of which still stand today. The town is also known for the tragic martyrdom of the younger sons of Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, who were bricked alive by the Mughal governor of Sirhind, Wazir Khan. This event is commemorated at the Fatehgarh Sahib Gurdwara, a major pilgrimage site for Sikhs. In addition to its historical significance, Sirhind is home to several architectural marvels, including the Aam Khas Bagh, a Mughal garden complex, and the Rauza Sharif, the mausoleum of the revered Sufi saint Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi. The town's rich cultural tapestry is further enhanced by its vibrant festivals and fairs, which attract visitors from across the region.
