Anandpur Sahib
Rupnagar (Ropar) · Punjab
Gurdwara Bhai Jaita is situated in Anandpur Sahib in the Ropar District and is in memory of Bhai Jaita.
At Anandpur Sahib, Guru Tegh Bahadur listened to an aggrieved group of Kashmiri brahmins who were being terrorized under the religious bigotry of mughal emperor Aurangzeb.
Guru Gobind Singh, a child of nine, asked his father to make the supreme sacrifice to upkeep righteousness.
Guru Tegh Bahadur was beheaded on 11th November 1675 at Chandni Chowk, Delhi. Guru Tegh Bahadur's head was returned to Anandpur Sahib by Bhai Jaita.
Guru Gobind Singh declared, 'Rangrete Guru Ke Bete' (Rangretas are the Sons of the Guru) referring to Bhai Jaita and his journey from Delhi.
