Sahibzada Glasses

The Sahibzadas and Sri Guru Gobind Singh jis mum were kept in a cold tower in the freezing winter without food and water. The Government declared that anyone caught showing sympathy to the prisoners would be killed along with their whole family. But this didn't deter a compassionate follower of the Guru.


These glasses were used by Guru Gobind Singh Jis youngest two sons, Sahibzada Zorawar Singh Ji and Sahibzada Fateh Singh Ji.

When the two Sahibzade were imprisoned in the Thanda Burj (Cold tower), by the Moghuls, a man called Baba Mothi Mehra provided milk for them, for 4 days. However, he was caught by the Moghuls, and he and his family were tortured to death as punishment.

They are at: Gurdwara Shaheed Moti Ram Jee - a few hundred yards away from Sirhind/Fatehgarh Sahib.
