Fatehgarh-Sahib, India History
Fatehgarh Sahib, meaning the ‘Town of Victory’, signifies the triumph and independence of Sikhs from the tyrannical rule of Muslims. In the year 1710, Sikhs, led by Banda Bahadur, fought a fearsome battle against Muslims and finally grounded the fort built at the time of Balban's rule.
This town is bound by four gates, respectively dedicated to Deewan Todar Mal, Nawab Sher Muhammed Khan, Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and Baba Moti Ram Mehra. These gates have high architectural value and also signify the cultural diversity and secularity of the place.
