Shaheed Baba Deep Singh Ji

During the clash, one of the Mughal commanders, Jamal Khan, attacked Baba Deep Singh Ji. As they fought

, both men swung their weapons with great force, leaving both of their heads separated from their bodies

. After seeing this scene, a young Sikh warrior called out to Baba Ji, reminding him of his vow to reach Sri 

Harimander Sahib. Upon hearing this, Baba Deep Singh Ji immediately stood up, holding his severed head

upright on his left palm while holding his khanda in his right hand. He then continued fighting and moving 

towards Sri Harimander Sahib. Upon seeing the sight of Baba Deep Singh's headless body tearing through 

their numbers, most of the men in the Mughal army fled away in terror. Baba Deep Singh was able to continue

 fighting and reached the periphery of Sri Harimander Sahib from where he flung his severed head which came

 to rest at the parkarma (rectangular walkway) of this sacred Gurdwara and lay there as promised. The Sikh

 Army continued to fight the fleeing Mughals until victory was achieved. Baba ji is remembered by all Sikhs as

 a brave and courageous martyr with an unflinching dedication to the Sikh principles.

Two shrines now commemorate the martyr, one on the circumambulatory terrace of the Sarovar surrounding


 the Harimander Sahib where he finally fell and the other, Shahidganj Baba Deep Singh Shahid, near

Gurdwara Ramsar, where his body was cremated. The places where Baba ji drew the line, engaged in battle,


 lost his head, threw it, and where it landed are all marked by Gurdwaras in Punjab. Baba Deep Singh Ji's


 actions encouraged the Sikhs to continue to fight against the tyrannical and oppressive Mughal Empire for

many years. Even today, his life serves as an example for all Sikhs on how to live and die with dignity.
