History & significance
Commemorates the execution of Guru Gobind Singh's two youngest sons, Zorawar Singh and Fateh Singh, who were bricked up alive in December 1705 after refusing to convert. The gurdwara was built in 1843 on a square plan with a ribbed lotus dome and cusped arches, and its upper levels were added in 1955; its basement holds a Guru Granth Sahib copy and relics linked to the events.
