Gurdwara Zafarnama

Gurdwara Zafarnama

The village Kangar in Bhatinda district was once the Capital of a big Hindu Zamindar Rai Jodh, disciple of Sixth Guru Hargobind. The holy dagger bestowed upon him by Guru Hargobind, is still in the possession of his descendents. This village is famous for the Gurdwara Zafarnama Sahib. It was here that Guru Gobind Singh wrote a letter in Persian poetry called 'Zafarnama' i.e. 'Epistle of Victory'. He handed it over to Bhai Dya Singh to deliver it to Emperor Aurangzeb in the South.
