Baba Gurditta, was the eldest son of the sixth Sikh Guru, Guru Hargobind; was born in 1613 at Daroli Bhai, District Firozpur. He was also an elder brother of Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur. He married to Mata Nihal Kaur. He was father of Guru Har Rai and Dhir mall. Guru Hargobind received the shocking news of the death of his eldest son Baba Gurditta who passed away at age 24, in 1638. He had two sons, the eldest was called Har Rai.
Baba Gurdita, the son of Guru Hargobind along with Bhai Bidhi Chand commanded the defensive action when the Sikhs were besieged in Kartarpur. Guru Sahib himself took part in this action. Painde Khan attacked the Guru with his sword but the Guru, shielding himself, paid him back in the same coin after accepting his challenge. The Guru is said to have wept to see him breathing his last. Baba Gurdita took the defensive when he was attacked in the hand fight by one Asman Khan, his playmate in childhood. The Baba, however, mourned the death of his classmate with the remarks that to kill him was not considered a measure of success, rather it was a disappointment to have been forced by circumstances to kill a friend. Generals Kutab Khan and Kale Khan, both were slain in hand to hand fighting with Guru Hargobind
A beautiful Gurdwara stands at this site called Gurdwara Daroli Bhai, Dist. Firozpur. This Gurdwara marks the birthplace of Baba Gurditta, who was a great saint.
