A vow of valour

Amritsar, the spiritual heart of Sikhism, resonates with stories of bravery and sacrifice. Gurudwara Baba Deep Singh, situated outside the Chattiwind Gate, stands as a powerful testament to one such legend – Baba Deep Singh Ji, a revered martyr whose unwavering devotion, a beacon of spiritual strength, protected the sanctity of the Golden Temple.

Remembered as Shahidan Sahib (Shrine of the Martyr), Gurudwara Baba Deep Singh commemorates the unparalleled courage of this Sikh warrior. In 1757, when Afghan forces threatened to desecrate the holiest Sikh shrine, the Golden Temple, Baba Deep Singh Ji, along with thousands of other brave Sikhs, rallied to defend their faith. Though heavily outnumbered, they fought valiantly against the invading army.

A final vow and enduring legacy

Despite a fatal wound to his neck, Baba Deep Singh Ji was determined to fulfil a final vow – to breathe his last within the sacred precincts of the Golden Temple. With unwavering determination, he continued fighting his way back to Amritsar, finally succumbing near the holy pool. This remarkable display of courage and devotion inspired Sardar Jassa Singh Ramgarhia to construct a memorial. Later, in the 1920s, the Shiromani Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee transformed this memorial into the majestic Gurudwara that stands today.

A beacon of inspiration

The Gurudwara itself is a magnificent structure, reflecting the grandeur of Baba Deep Singh Ji's sacrifice. Crafted from exquisite marble and granite, it boasts a rectangular hall and an intricately designed main entrance. A dazzling golden leaf adorns the dome, adding to the opulence of the structure.

Gurudwara Baba Deep Singh is more than just a historical landmark; it's a place where you can experience the unwavering spirit of Sikhism. Come explore its architectural beauty, learn about Baba Deep Singh Ji's bravery, and be inspired by his unwavering devotion to his faith.
