In 1737, Zakariya Khan took Amritsar, the holy city of the Sikhs and blocked them from visiting the Golden Temple.

[1] The Sikhs would disguise themselves during midnight and would take a dip in the holy water, not afraid of death.

This infuriated Nawab Kapur Singh and the Sikhs started planning for a battle.

[5] Instead of retreating they attacked the Sikhs, only to suffer heavy losses and Abdul Rehman to be killed.

[6] After the death of Qazi Abdul Rehman, Amritsar was in the control of Massa Ranghar who changed the Golden Temple into a place to enjoy the nautch.
