Chapter 9

Guru Gobind Singh's Engagement

As the glory of the Guru spreads, devotees from foreign land make their way to Anandpur Sahib.

With Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji's sacrifice and Guru Gobind Singh Ji's ascension, Anandpur Sahib thrives, and Sikh martial might flourishes. Devotees worldwide seek a glimpse of the Guru!

Embarking from Lahore, a vibrant city, devout Sikhs embark on a pilgrimage to witness Guru Ji's divine presence in Anandpur. Their journey spans landscapes, rivers, and the lively Doaba area, culminating in their arrival at the revered site of Anandpur Sahib.

Amidst the myriad devotees stands Harjas Subhikhi, bearing a profound desire for his daughter, Mata Jito Ji. Their narrative unfolds amidst grand declarations, expansive congregations, and the dynamic energy of a city preparing for a momentous event.

Yet, there's a challenge. The Lahore sangat envisions a grand spectacle, a marriage procession led by the Guru himself, parading through their city. But the Guru's court in Anandpur is ablaze with grandeur and festivities, and it seems unlikely to move the entire celebration to Lahore.

The saha (marriage date) is set! Mata Gujari Ji and Mata Nanaki Ji exude anticipation, while Anandpur revels in euphoria. But, a question lingers: what lies ahead for the Lahore dreams amid these resplendent celebrations?
