Gurdwara Jyoti Sarup Sahib

Gurdwara Jyoti Sarup Sahib is a prominent Sikh shrine located in Jyoti Sarup village near Sirhind in Fatehgarh Sahib District, Punjab. It marks the site where the cremation of Mata Gujri and the two younger Sahibzadas of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Baba Zorawar Singh and Baba Fateh Singh, was performed in 1704. The gurdwara complex features white domed architecture, a sarovar and langar hall, and is visited year-round by pilgrims.

Visitors can expect a peaceful white-marbled gurdwara complex with domes, prayer hall, and open courtyard located about 1.5 km from Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib. Inside, visitors can see the main darbar hall, listen to kirtan, partake in langar (community kitchen), and view the historical site associated with the cremation. The surroundings are semi-urban with agricultural fields, parking area, sarai accommodation and shoe-keeping facility. Modest dress and head covering are required.

Gurdwara Jyoti Sarup Sahib commemorates the cremation in December 1704 of Mata Gujri, mother of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, and his two younger sons Baba Zorawar Singh (aged 9) and Baba Fateh Singh (aged 7). According to Sikh tradition, after their martyrdom at Sirhind, Diwan Todar Mal arranged for their cremation at this site by purchasing land. The gurdwara was later established to mark this event and is closely associated with the history of Sirhind and Fatehgarh Sahib.

The gurdwara is a highly revered Sikh pilgrimage site symbolizing sacrifice and faith. It is central to annual Shaheedi Jor Mela observances in December when large congregations gather to pay homage. The site is managed under Sikh religious administration and serves as a place for prayer, kirtan, langar and community gathering.
