Shaheedi Jor Mela

Shaheedi Jor Mela

Shaheedi Jor Mela is a gatka tournament organised every year in December in the Fatehgarh Sahib district of Punjab on the occasion of the martyrdom of Baba Zorawar Singh ji and Baba Fateh Singh ji (younger sahibzada of the tenth guru of sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh ji)

On 26 December 1705, Baba Fateh Singh ji was cruelly and mercilessly martyred at Sirhind along with his elder brother, Baba Zorawar Singh. He is probably the youngest recorded martyr in history who knowingly and consciously laid down his life at the very tender age of 6 years.
