Gurdwara Sis Ganj is a famous Sikh pilgrimage, which was built on the land where the Sikh Guru Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur, was martyred in 1675 on the orders of the Mughal emperor Aurungzeb. It is said that suddenly after this unfortunate event, the skies were overcast by the clouds and seeing their chances, Guru's disciple Bhai Jaita, a Rengreta Sikh, took away his head and escaped to Anandpur Sahib in Punjab while Bhai Lakhi Shah Banjara and his son, Bhai Naghaiya, took the Guru's body and cremated it in their home in the Raisina village, where the Gurudwara Rakab Ganj stands today.
A century later, in 1783, Baba Baghel Singh claimed the place as the sacred spot of Sikhs and constructed a shrine here. One can still see the trunk of the tree under which the Guru was martyred, which has been well preserved along with the well, where the great Holy Spirit took his daily bath while he was in prison.
