Chamkaur Sahib is a Sub Divisional town in the district of Rupnagar in the Indian State of Punjab.

History

It is famous for the First Battle of Chamkaur (1702) and the Second Battle of Chamkaur (1704) fought between the Mughals and Guru Gobind Singh.

Situated on the banks of the Sirhind Canal, Chamkaur sahib is at a distance of 15 km from Morinda and 16 km from Rupnagar. Guru Gobind Singh and his two elder sons and 40 followers had come to this place from Kotla Nihang Khan with his Mughal pursuers close on his heels. They came in the garden said to be of Raja roop chand, where now Gurudwara Katlgarh Sahib stands. There are several other Gurudwaras named Tari Sahib, Damdama Sahib, Garhi Sahib & Ranjitgarh Sahib that mark the visits and halts of Guru Gobind Singh.

Heritage loss

The original structure of the Garhi Sahib as constructed in the 19th century was demolished by the Kar Seva groups under the patronage of the SGPC, whom built a larger, marble complex in its place.[1] This move was decried by Sikh historians as destroying the heritage of Sikhs.[1] A gurdwara (Damdama Sahib) was also constructed over the bagh (garden) that the tenth Guru used to camp in.[1]
