Fatehgarh Sahib City

Fatehgarh Sahib City

Fatehgarh Sahib is a city and the headquarters of Fatehgarh Sahib district, one of the twenty districts in the north west Indian state of Punjab. The city is an historically important settlement north of the city of Patiala and is of special significance to followers of the Sikh faith. The Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib, 5 km (3.1 mi) north of Sirhind, marks the burial site of the two younger sons of the tenth Guru of the Sikhs, Sri Guru Gobind Singh. Here, Sahibzada Fateh Singh and Sahibzada Zorawar Singh were entombed while still alive on 12 December 1705 on the orders of the Governor of Sirhind, Wazir Khan. The word "Fatehgarh", means "Town of Victory", and is so called because in 1710, Sikhs under the leadership ofBanda Bahadur overran the area and razed the fort built during Balban's rule to the ground. Gurdwara Jyoti Sarup lies about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) from Fatehgarh Sahib on the Sirhind-Chandigarh road. At this place, the mortal remains of Mata Gujri, the mother of Guru Gobind Singh and his two younger sons, Sahibzada Fateh Singh and Sahibzada Zorawar Singh were cremated. The town is surrounded by four memorial gates, each in memory of four important figures from Sikh history associated with Sirhind.

Real Estate In Fatehgarh Sahib.

Fatehgarh sahib real estate and properties available in Fatehgarh sahib for sale, purchase, rent and lease. With hardly any sale and purchase activity on in the Fatehgarh Sahib district at present, the realty sector is passing through one of the worst phases here. Unlike Ludhiana, Amritsar and other cities of the state, big builders and construction companies have not shown any interest in launching commercial and residential projects in Fatehgarh Sahib. To make the matters worse, mushrooming of unauthorized colonies in Fatehgarh Sahib has left the local developers high any dry. There are hardly any takers for the approved projects as land is available for much less in the unapproved colonies. Land prices in the Fatehgarh Sahib have also not witnessed much appreciation in the past few years.
