Shaheedi Jor Mela is organised every year in December at Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib, in the Fatehgarh Sahib district of Punjab to pay homage to the martyrdom of Baba Zorawar Singh ji and Baba Fateh Singh ji, the youngest of the tenth guru of sikhs Guru Gobind Singh's four sons.
The fair is organized to pay tribute to the martyrdom of Baba Zorawar Singh Ji and Baba Fateh Singh Ji. They were the brave Sahibzadas (princes) of Guru Gobind Singh. They have a special position in the history of Sikhism owing to their unshaken patriotism to their religion. At a very tender age, they denied the offer of Wazir Khan, the then Governor of Sirhind, to have treasures and easy life if they convert to Islam. They were initially entombed alive, by being bricked to a wall. However, it was not powerful enough to kill them. Later, on 26th December 1705, both of them were mercilessly martyred at Sirhind.
