Gurudwara Shri Bhangani Sahib

Gurudwara Shri Bhangani Sahib marks the historic battlefield where Guru Gobind Singh won his first military victory in September 1688. The Battle of Bhangani was fought against a coalition of hill rajas led by Raja Bhim Chand of Kahlur, who had been angered by the Guru's refusal to surrender a trained elephant. Despite being outnumbered, the Guru's forces, bolstered by the Sufi saint Pir Buddhu Shah and his 700 followers, decisively defeated the allied hill armies in a fierce daylong battle near Paonta Sahib.
