Gurudwara Bhai Jivan Singh ji – Chamkaur Sahib

Gurudwara Bhai Jiwan SIngh Ji is situated in Chamkaur Sahib City of Distt Ropar. This place is Shaheedi Asthan Of Bhai Jiwan Singh Ji. When Singhs Ordered Guru Gobind Singh to leave chamkaur di garhi. Guru Sahib gave Bhai Jiwan SIngh Ji his "kalgi" and Bana. Bhai Jiwan SIngh Ji wearing this Bana and Kalgi kept fighting with Mughal Amry. Amry got confused of dress and thought Guru Sahib was still there. In the mean time Guru sahib left from the back of Garhi.

GURDWARA SHAHID BURJ BHAI JIVAN SINGH is next to Gurdwara Garhi Sahib and represents the site of the gate of the fortress used by Guru Gobind Singh as the bulwark of his defence in the unequal battle of 7 December 1705. The gate was guarded by Bhai Madan Singh and Bhai Kotha Singh, although the Gurdwara came to be named after Bhai Jivan Singh. Jivan Singh was the same Bhai Jaita who had brought Guru Tegh Bahadur’s head after his execution from Delhi to Kiratpur in 1675, and earned from Guru Gobind Singh the endearing title of ‘Rarighrete Guru ke Bete’. Upon his initiation into the order of the Khalsa in 1699, he had received the name of Jivan Singh. According to the Bhatt Vahis, he was killed in a rearguard action on the bank of the Sarsa. Gurdwara Shahid Burj, which commemorates his martyrdom, is a small shrine of old Sirhindi bricks to which a small hall has been added lately. The original shrine in which the Guru Granth Sahib is seated was built by Mazhabi Sikhs, the community to which Bhai Jivan Singh originally belonged.
