Gurdwara #RakabGanj is where the dismembered body of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib was consigned to flames after Mughal emperor Aurangzeb had him beheaded. Guru Tegh Bahadur protecting Hindus did not convert to Islam on Aurangzeb's orders.The 9th Sikh Guru is hailed as 'Hind Di Chadar' https://twitter.com/gauravcsawant/status/1340517730114363392
Aurangzeb ordered that Guru Tegh Bahadur's body will not be removed. There was a massive dust storm & taking advantage of it 2 followers: Bhai Jaita took Guru Tegh Bahadur's head to Anandpur Sahib & Bhai Lakhi Shah hid Guru Sahib's body under bales of cotton & got it to Rakabganj
Had he cremated Guru Tegh Bahadur's body it would have aroused the suspicion of the Mughal army so Bhai Lakhi Shah set his house on fire. At that exact spot is Gurdwara Rakabganj. If Hindus are able to follow our religion & beliefs it is due to the sacrifice of Guru Tegh Bahadur.
To force Guru Tegh Bahadur to convert to Islam, Aurangzeb had Bhai Mati Das sawed in two, Bhai Sati Das burnt alive in bales of cotton & Bhai Dyala boiled alive. They all refused to convert to Islam & kept reciting Jap Ji sahib. Where Guru Sahib was beheaded is Gurdwara Sis Ganj.
