Chapter 2

Transporting the Head of the Guru to Kiratpur

In the bustling city of Delhi, an act of profound courage unfolded. Satguru Tegh Bahadur, a symbol of bravery and endurance, faced the ultimate trial, forever engraving his name in the hearts of his followers. One chosen Sikh, shouldered with the grave responsibility, embarked on a journey from Delhi to bring news of this heroic sacrifice.

The end of his journey lay in the town of Kiratpur, renowned for its close ties to the Guru's Sodhi lineage. But his arrival was keenly awaited in a different city - Anandpur, where the young Guru Gobind Singh, bestowed with responsibilities beyond his years, resided. In the face of deep sorrow, he commanded action, ordering the preparation of a grand chariot, a symbol of hope amidst the grief.

The Mughal Emperor, whose reign was initially blessed by Guru Nanak Dev Ji, had erred greatly, casting a long shadow over his dynasty. Amidst this turbulence, the Sikh faith remained a shining beacon of resilience.

As the chosen Sikh journeyed back to Anandpur, the echoes of Guru Tegh Bahadur's sacrifice travelled with him. A new chapter was on the horizon, one that would forever change the course of Sikh history.
