Before his body could be quartered and exposed to public view, it was stolen under the cover of darkness by one of his disciples, Lakhi Shah Vanjara, who then sat his home afire to cremate the Guru's body.
The 'Sis' (severed head) of Guru Tegh Bahadur was taken to Anandpur Sahib by Bhai Jaita, another devotee of the Guru where it was cremated by the Guru's young son, Guru Gobind Rai.
Bhai Jaita who had been of the Majhabi (scavenger) caste, was renamed Bhai Jivan Singh on the same day that Guru Gobind Rai created the Khalsa and added the names Singh and Kaur to the names of all Sikhs. Guru Gobind Singh was the tenth and last Guru, in human form, of the Sikhs.
The Chandni Chowk area has, as well, another Gurdwara, Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib.
