After vacating Qila Shri Anandgarh Sahib during the night of 5th-6th December 1705, Guru Gobind Singh ji rested for the night and stopped here for morning prayers with his family and the Sikhs of Anandpur Sahib. It was at this spot that the the Mughal army suddenly arrived in hot pursuit. . After invoking the blessings of the Almighty, Guru Gobind Singh Ji divided his forces into two columns. While part of the force was to engage their attackers, the other force was ordered to get across the river. The Guru was followed by a small party of devoted Sikhs who fought off their attackers with their swords flashing in their hands. It was here that Mata Guiriwith the two youngest Sahibzada(the sons of the Guru) were separated from the Guru's party. ManySikhs drown or were martyred while crossing the river. While Guru sahib ji along with his two elder sons headed towards Chamkaur Sahib, Mata Gujri ji and younger sons were guided by Guru sahib's cook Gangu reaching the 'safety' of his ancesteral Village Saheri in Morinda Tehsil. There had been no time to look for the missing, Guru sahib's wife with other Sikhs were escorted to Delhi.
