| The historic & pious '''District of Fatehgarh Sahib''' came into existence on 13th April 1992, Baisakhi Day, deriving its name 'Fatehgarh Sahib' from '''Sahibzada [[Fateh Singh]]''', the youngest son of 10th [[Guru Gobind Singh]], who were bricked alive by the orders of Suba [[Sirhind]].

| The Tenth Sikh Guru, [[Guru Gobind Singh]] fought against the atrocities of Mughal [[Emperor Aurangzeb]], due to which he bore the wrath of the Dynasty. The youngest Sahibzadas of Guru Ji namely Sahibzada [[Zorawar Singh]] & Sahibzada [[Fateh Singh]] alongwith their grandmother [[Mata Gujri]] were martyred here.
