History related to Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji (Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur History)

During the time of Guru Teg Bahadur, there was the rule of Aurangzeb, it has been claimed in the book of Sikh History that during the reign of Aurangzeb, Hindus were being forcibly converted.
Troubled by this, many people took refuge in Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib. To protect the religion, Guru Teg Bahadur stood firmly in front of the Mughals. He vowed not to bow before the Mughals, regardless of his life.

When Aurangzeb came to know about this, he was shocked. The Mughal ruler killed his family members. Aurangzeb ordered Guru Tegh Bahadur to accept Islam but he did not bow down to the Mughals.

Then on 24 November 1675, on the orders of Aurangzeb, Guru Tegh Bahadur was beheaded publicly at the crossroads in New Delhi. The present Shishganj Gurudwara (Shishganj Gurudwara Delhi) is built at the same place where the head of Guru Teg Bahadur had fallen.
