History
Sahibzada Ajit Singh, Shahibjada Jujhar Singh, Sahibjada Zorawar Singh, and Sahibzada Fateh Singh are the four sons of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the tenth Sikh guru.
Guruji and his army were attacked by the Mughal Army. Anandpur Sahib Fort was the starting point of the conflict. The family was split up after a protracted battle on the Sarsa River's bank. Later, the Sahibzaades were asked by Nawabs to convert to Islam, but they refused and affirmed their love for Sikhism. This fearless attitude of the young lads left the Mughal emperor furious, and as a result, they were immediately buried between the walls.
And in history, this event later got etched as a supreme sacrifice made by Sahibzada Zorawar Singh and Sahibzada Fateh Singh.
