History of Gurdwara Sri Tibbi Sahib Gurdwara Sri Tibbi Sahib is one of the most revered Sikh shrines located in Sri Muktsar Sahib. This historic Gurdwara is closely associated with Guru Gobind Singh and commemorates an important event that took place after the historic Battle of Muktsar in 1705. The shrine stands on a small elevated mound, known locally as a tibbi, from which it derives its name. According to Sikh history, after the Battle of Muktsar, Guru Gobind Singh Ji climbed this elevated spot to observe the battlefield where the brave Chali Mukte (Forty Liberated Ones) fought courageously against the Mughal forces. From this location, the Guru witnessed the sacrifices made by his devoted Sikhs and later visited the battlefield to bless the surviving warriors and honor those who had attained martyrdom. The site became sacred because of the Guru's presence and the historical events connected with it. The Battle of Muktsar is one of the most significant battles in Sikh history. During this conflict, forty Sikhs who had previously signed the Bedava (a written declaration renouncing Guru Gobind Singh Ji) realized their mistake after being inspired by the courageous Mai Bhago. They returned to fight alongside the Guru and displayed extraordinary bravery while defending him against the Mughal army. Their sacrifice earned them the title of Chali Mukte, meaning "The Forty Liberated Ones." Gurdwara Tibbi Sahib serves as a reminder of Guru Gobind Singh Ji's leadership, courage, and compassion. It also symbolizes the importance of repentance, forgiveness, and unwavering faith in Sikhism. Every year, thousands of pilgrims visit the shrine to pay their respects, learn about the events of the Battle of Muktsar, and remember the sacrifices made by the Chali Mukte.
