Chamkaur Sahib

Chamkaur Sahib is a Sub Divisional town in the district of Rupnagar in the Indian State of Punjab.

Guru Gobind Singh and his two elder sons and 40 followers had come to this place from Kotla Nihang Khan with his Mughal pursuers close on his heels.

They came in the garden said to be of Raja roop chand, where now Gurudwara Katlgarh Sahib stands.

The original structure of the Garhi Sahib as constructed in the 19th century was demolished by the Kar Seva groups under the patronage of the SGPC, whom built a larger, marble complex in its place.

[1] A gurdwara (Damdama Sahib) was also constructed over the bagh (garden) that the tenth Guru used to camp in.
