Gurudwara Qila Sri Lohgarh Sahib

Lohgarh Fort, the first fort of Sikhism, was built in 1618 inside Lohgarh Gate, Amritsar. Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji, upholding the principles of Miri-Piri, armed the Sikh Panth and established Shri Akal Takht Sahib. In 1629, during the wedding of Bibi Veero, Mukhlis Khan attacked Amritsar, but Guru Sahib led a fierce battle, securing victory. This marked the first war of the Khalsa, inspiring the Sikh community. The fort still preserves the historic Beri tree cannon, a symbol of Sikh resilience.
