Location
Situated just opposite the Government Higher Secondary School, Town Hall, Amritsar, it was built in the memory of the non-commissioned officers officers and men of the 36th Sikhs whose names have been engraved on a marble stone fixed on the wall of the gurdwara as a perpetual record of heroism shown by these gallant soldiers. They died at their posts in the defence of the frontier Fort of Saragarhi on 12th September 1897, fighting against an overwhelming number of Pathans.
To commemorate their bravery, three gurdwaras were erected-one at Saragarhi, the venue of the battle, the second at Firozpur and the third here. The memorial at Amritsar was unveiled on February 14, 1902.
