Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib commemorates the martyrdom of Sahibzada Zorawar Singh (aged 9) and Sahibzada Fateh Singh (aged 7), the younger sons of Guru Gobind Singh, who were bricked alive in 1704 on the orders of the then governor of Sirhind, Wazir Khan. The site also includes Bhora Sahib and is associated with Mata Gujri. The present complex was developed over time, with major construction in the 19th and 20th centuries under Sikh patronage and later by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee.

One of the most revered pilgrimage sites in Sikhism, symbolizing sacrifice, faith and courage. It hosts the annual Shaheedi Jor Mela in December to honor the martyrdom of the Sahibzadas and Mata Gujri, drawing devotees from across India and abroad. The gurdwara serves as a centre for religious gatherings, kirtan and community service through langar.
