Baba Banda Singh Bahadur & Sirhind

Baba Banda Singh Bahadur

After defeating and punishing Wazir Khan in the battle of Chapard Chirdi, the Khalsa Army marched towards Sirhind and demolished the city to ruins. Baba Banda Singh Bahadur Standing in the burning city asked the Singh's to find the real treasure for which they have marched here {remaining bricks in which Sahibzada Zorawar Singh and Sahibzada Fateh Singh were bricked alive}. The Singh's found some of the bricks.

This artwork depicts that scene of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur holding one of the bricks and paying his respects to the Immortal Shaheeds Chotte Sahibzade.

Baba Banda Singh remembring the scene where Chotte Sahibzade are confronting the Kaazi while being bricked alive and shouting the Jaikara "Sat Sri Akal". Once the impenetrable walls of Sirhind were pile of ruin. Baba Banda Singh said to the Singh's "Bury this treasure here we have to march ahead to expand the empire, the Khalsa will return and find this treasure". This treasure is most important thing for us and till the end of time this will be our inspiration source.

On 12th May, 1710 Baba Band Singh Bahadaur conqured Sirhind and Killed the Cruel Wazir Khan and established the first Sikh Empire.
