Mughal Empire The Battle of Kiratpur, also known as the Battle of Kiratpur Sahib, took place between the Sikhs, commanded by Guru Hargobind, and the Mughals, commanded by the Ruler and Pathans of Ropar.

[1] The Mughals, Pathans, Gujjars and other locals at Ropar were jealous of Guru Hargobind's popularity and wanted to avenge an earlier defeat of theirs.

The Pathans launched a surprise attack on Guru Hargobind who was only accompanied by 22 Sikhs.

[1][3][2] A gurdwara was constructed at the location of the battle by Sant Kartar Singh Bhindranwale in 1975.
