Gurudwara Buddha Johad
Gurudwara Shaheed Nagar Budha Johad, located about 50 km from Ganganagar, stands as a testament to Sikh bravery and sacrifice. This sacred site is where Bhai Sukha Singh and Mehtab Singh brought the severed head of Massa Rangarh, the tyrant who defiled Sri Harmandir Sahib by turning it into a house of pleasure. Enraged by his sacrilege, the two Sikh warriors traveled to Amritsar, disguised as tax collectors and executed Massa Rangarh on August 11, 1740. They later stopped at this Johad and hung his head on a jand tree, which stood for centuries and is now enclosed in a glass case.
The Gurudwara was built by the Sikh Sangat in memory of these martyrs and the two brave Sikhs sent by the Budha Dal, who were also executed by Massa Rangarh. This historic Gurudwara attracts devotees who seek inspiration from the valor of Sikh warriors who defended their faith against tyranny.
