Lok Virsa Pehchaan / History Of Roopnagar
« on: June 29, 2010, 07:34:37 AM »
Introduction

The district of Rupnagar is named after its district headquarters, the town of Rupnagar. Formerly known as Ropar, the town of Rupnagar is said to have been founded by a Raja called Rokeshar, who ruled during the 11th century and named it after his son Rup Sen. The town is of considerable antiquity. Recent excavations and explorations conducted at Rupnagar indicate that the first civilized folk to settle here were the Harappans, who apparently reached the upper Satluj towards the close of third millenium B.C. District was carved out on Ist November , 1966 at the of re-organization of the State. The District has rich historical and religious significance behind it.
A new district S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali) has been created on 14-04-2006. Two blocks Kharar and Majri of earlier Rupnagar District have been merged with the newly created district.

Location

Rupnagar district, included in the Patiala Division of Punjab falls between north latitude 30°-32' and 31°-24' and east longitude 76°-18' and 76°-55'. Rupnagar (formerly known as Ropar) town, the district headquarters is 42 Kms from Chandigarh, the state capital. The district adjoins Nawanshahar, Mohali and Fatehgarh Sahib Districts of Punjab. The district comprises 4 Tehsils, Rupnagar, Anandpur Sahib, Nangal and Chamkaur Sahib and includes 624 villages and 6 towns namely Rupnagar, Chamkaur Sahib, Anandpur sahib, Morinda, Kiratpur Sahib and Nangal. All the towns except Chamkaur sahib fall on railways line. The Satluj river passes close (2 to 5 km) to the towns of Nangal, Rupnagar and Anandpur Sahib.

Historical Background

The town of Rupnagar is of considerable antiquity. The town is said to have been founded by a Raja called Rokeshar who ruled in the 11th century and named Rupnagar after his son Rup Sen . The recent excavations carried out at Rupnagar have proved that this town was the seat of well developed Indus Valley Civilization . In proto - Historic Punjab perhaps Rupnagar is the only known excavation site which can claim the status of a small town or city . The founds in recent excavations consists of earthen bares, statues, coins, etc. That proves that the city dates back to Harrappa - Mohanjodharo civilization which crossed Satluj river. Many of them settled at this place. In the excavations many things founded belongs to Chandra Gupta, Kushan, Hoon and Mughal period. One of rare finds is a seal of Marble on which there are three letters engraved in Sindhi script. One of the finds is the statue of a woman dressing her hair. All these proves that even the people living in this town 4000 years, hence were fully civilized and well cultured.

Many historians are of the view that when the first man descended from the mountains in the North to plains, he settled down at Ropar. A Mount is still preserved by the Archeology Department at Ropar.

S. Hari Singh Rais of Sialba conquered Ropar in 1763 A.D. and established his state . His son Charat Singh made Ropar capital of the state .

After the fall of Sirhind in 1763, Rupnagar came under the sikhs Chief Hari Singh. The most famous ruler of Ropar state was Raja Bhup Singh , who fought in the anglo-sikhs war of 1945. on the side of Maharaja Dalip Singh, the minor successor of Maharaja Ranjit Singh , against the British. Consequently, after the victory of the British, Ropar state of Raja Bhup Singh was confiscated.

The history of Ropar district is in fact the war of Guru Gobind Singh Ji against Mughal tyranny, exploiters and social evils. It is here in this district at Sarsa Nangal that the great Guru parted with the family and proceeded to Chamkaur Sahib where two elder Sahibzadas laid down their lives fighting for truth and Guru Sahib left for Machhiwara on a constant struggle.

The other important historical place in this District is Kiratpur Sahib situated on the banks of the river Satluj. This town was established by 6th Guru Shri Guru Har Gobind Singh Ji after buying Land from Raja Tara Chand of Kehloor through Baba Gurditta Ji. It is said that Guru Nanak Dev Ji made a professy regarding the establishment of this place. It is here at this place that Guru Nanak Dev Ji met saint Buddan Shah in a Jungle. It is here in Sheeshmahal that Guru Hargobind Sahib stayed from Sammat 1691 till the end came. Shri Guru Har Rai Ji and Shri Guru Harikrishan Ji were also born at this place and they were blessed with Guru Gaddi at this place. It is here at Gurdwara Patalpuri Sahib that Sikhs from all over the world immerse the ashes after death. Even the Babhuti of Shri Hari Krishan Ji was brought form Delhi and established at this place. About a half-mile away form Kiratpur Sahib the Takia of Saint Buddan Shah is situated.

Anandpur Sahib, a historical town in this district was founded by 9th Guru of Sikhs Shri Guru Teg Bahadar Ji after buying Land in Village Makowal in 1723 A.D. It is at this place that the great 9th Guru performed perance to commemorate the gurudwara Bhaura Sahib built at Anandpur Sahib . It is also here at Anandpur Sahib that Kashmiri Pandits approached 9th Guru to save them from Mughal Tyranny. Acceding their request on the motivation of Guru Gobind Singh Ji , Shri Guru Teg Bahadar Ji left for Delhi to make Supreme Sacrifice. At Anandpur Sahib the great 10th Guru of Sikhs Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji spent his early age . It is here that the great Guru mastered the use of arms in Kila Anandgarh Sahib.

Further it was at Anandpur Sahib in Rupnagar District that Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji created Khalsa in 1699 on Baisakhi Day and brought about a cultural revolution. It was the most important landmark in the history of sikhs. The Khalsa created by Guru Gobind Singh Ji later on acquired the sovereign power of Punjab under Maharaja Ranjit Singh . The creation of Khalsa at Anandpur Sahib is the most important event not only in history of Rupnagar district, but also in the history of the sikhs and Punjab. Gurudwara Keshgarh Sahib at Anandpur Sahib still commemorates the memory of the historical event as Guru created Khalsa at this place.

Another most important landmark historic event had been added to the history of the district, when in April 1999, 300th Birth of Khalsa was celebrated at Anandpur Sahib. Besides lacs of people from all walks of life from all over of the world, heads, important religious, social, political and administrative personalities participated in the Tercentenary functions and paid obesance at Gurudwara Takhat Shri Keshgarh Sahib. Historic City of Anandpur Sahib has been developed as tourist center. Khalsa heritage Memorial complex is being constructed.

Climate, Rainfall and Soil

The climate of Rupnagar District is characterized by its general dryness (except in the south-west monsoon season), a hot summer and a bracing cold winter. The year may be divided into four seasons. The period from about middle of November to February is the cold season. This is followed by the summer season from March to about the end of June. The south-west monsoon season commences late in June and continues up to about middle of September. The period from mid September to the middle of November constitute the post-monsoon or transition season. The temperature ranges from minimum of 4° C in winter to 45° C in summer. May and June are generally hottest months and December and January are the coldest months. Relative humidity is high, averaging about 70 percent during monsoon. The average annual rainfall in district is 775.6 mm. About 78 percent of the annual rainfall is received during the period from June to September. The soils of the District vary in texture generally from loam to silty clay loam except along the Sutlej River and chos where some sandy patches may be found. Chamkaur Sahib and Kharar blocks have sodic soils. The soils of Anandpur Sahib and Rupnagar blocks are undulating.

Mosque of Sadhana Kasai at sirhind
This mosque is situated in the North-west of Sirhind-Ropar Railway Line just near level crossing. This historical monument is under the control of Archaeology Department. It is made of `Sirhindi Bricks' and its paintings are of `T' art. One `Shabad' of Sadhana Kasai had been incorporated in the holy Shri Guru Granth Sahib.


Haveli Todar Mal
The Haveli Todar Mal also known as Jahaz Haveli is situated on the Eastern side of Sirhind-Ropar Railway Line just 1 KM away from Fatehgarh Sahib. It is made of Sirhindi bricks. It is the Haveli where Diwan Todar Mal resided. Diwan Todar Mal in his lifetime paid the greatest tribute to Sikh community by purchasing piece of land at the substantial cost for the cremation of two younger Sahibzadas Baba Zorawar Singh & Baba Fateh Singh from the Mughal emperors. With this act he incurred the wrath of the ruling family.

Das Nami Akhara
This religious place is situated very close to the Dargah of Baba Salar Pir. It commemorates the memory of Baba Hardit Giri who was a great saint. Annual congregations are held here for three days that is on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday after Diwali. On Monday, a grand BHANDARA is held. Preachers deliver religious sermons to the people.

Janam Ashtmi and Shivratri are also celebrated here with great enthusiasm. Langar (free kitchen) is served to the people on both these occasions.


Mata Chakreshvri Devi Jain Temple
This ancient temple is believed to be 1000 years old and is situated in village Attewali on Sirhind-Chandigarh Road. The legend has that during the times of Raja Prithvi Raj Chauhan; a large number of pilgrims from Rajasthan were going in bullock carts to the ancient Jain Temple of Kangra (situated still in Kangra Fort) to have the blessings of Lord Adi Nath. The pilgrims had also brought an idol of Mata Chakreshwari Devi, an ardent worshipper (known as Rakshak Devi or Lord Adinath) of Lord Adinath. On their way, the carvan halted for the night at the present site.

Next morning when the caravan was all set to move, the Rath (Chariot) carrying the idol of Mata Shri Chakreshwari Devi did not move inspite of the best efforts of the pilgrims. The devotees were at a loss to know the reason and were perplexed. Then all of a sudden, there was flood of light inside the Palki carrying the idol and there was an AKASHWANI `Let this be my place of Abode'. The pilgrims said `Mother, this is all sandy area, there is no water, around here, we had a miserable night yesterday'. The voice replied, A few yards towards north of this place dig the land and you will get water'. To the astonishment of pilgrims, they just dug a few feet and a fountain of water started flowing.

The pilgrims were very much pleased and they installed the idol of Mata Chakreshwari Devi at this place and built a beautiful temple there. The pilgrims also settled here. An annual function is held on 14th. Moon day of Assu, i.e. 4th day after day after Dussehra, which is attended by large number of devotees. The festival opens on the night of 13th Moon day and closes on Puranmashi.

The spiritual powers of Mata Chakreshwari Devi have been depicted very nicely on one of the walls of the temple through very fine glasswork in a majestic style. The fountain of water has been converted into a small well and big temple of Lord Adinath is under construction on this site. Even today, the devotees hold the water of this tank sacred and they carry home to preserve the same considering it as sacred as water of Ganga.



Sant Namdev Temple at Bassi Pathana
Sant Namdev, an exponent of Bhakti Marg stayed here for a considerable period and preached Bhakti Marg (way to worship God) to the people of the area. He moved from this place to other towns of the Punjab for spreading his religious message.

As this saint preceded the Sikh Gurus, 61 of his `Shaloks' have been included in Guru Granth Sahib. This place is now known as `Swami Namdev Ji Ka Dera'. Later on, a magnificent temple was constructed on this place in 1925. A big fair is held here for three days on Basant Panchmi, when a large number of persons from various parts of Punjab and adjoining states visit the place.

Gurudwara Jyoti Sarup
This Gurudwara is about 1 Km from Fatehgarh Sahib on Sirhind- Chandigarh road. It was at this place that the mortal remains of Mata Gujri, the mother of Guru Gobind and his two younger sons, Fateh Singh and Zorawar Singh were cremated. It is believed that Wazir Khan, the then Faujdar of Sirhind refused to allow the cremation of the bodies unless the land for the cremation was purchased by laying gold coins on it. Seth Todar Mal, who was an ardent devotee of Guru Gobind Singh, purchased this place of land by offering gold coins as demanded.


Gurudwara Shaheed Ganj
It is situated just half a kilometer from Gurudwara Fatehgarh Sahib. It commemorates the martyrdom of those Sikhs who were killed by the tyrannical Mughals. It is believed that forty cartloads of heads of martyred Sikhs, were cremated.


Rauza Sharif
On the Sirhind-Bassi Pathana Road, near Gurudwara Fatehgarh Sahib is the magnificent RAUZA OR DARGAH of Shaikh Ahmad Faruqi Sirhindi, popularly known as Mujaddid, Alf-Isfani who lived in the times of Akbar and Jahangir from 1563 to 1624.

The Shaikh is held in high esteem and is considered by Sunni Muslims to be second to prophet Mohammed. For this reason, this mausoleum is regarded as a second Macca by the Sunni Muslims. Every year, thousands of pilgrims from various parts of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangla Desh and other Muslim countries visit this place to participate in the celebrations, known as Urs of Shaikh Ahmad Sirhindi. The date of annual celebrations varies from year to year. Every year, these celebrations proceed by ten days than the previous year. By the side of the Rauza are the tombs of the Afghan Ruler, Shah Zaman and his Queen.


Tomb of Nabis at Bras
The tomb of Nabis is situated at a distance of 20 kms from Fatehgarh Sahib headquarters. It is said that Sheikh Ahmad Faruqui Sirhindi Muzdad Alafsani came and offered his obeisance here and said that thirteen Nabis (favorites of Allah) are buried here. Excavation followed and 11 human skeletons were found at the site. The grave of these 11 Nabis can still be seen today. This Mosque was constructed under the supervision of Dr. Nizamuddin of Malerkotla. The tomb is erected on a raised platform and the villagers have lot of respect for this place.

For this reason there is no upper storey in the village and no one sleeps on the roof of his or her house. Devotees from China and Afghanistan also visit this place. People visiting the Rauza Sharif make it a point to visit Brass as well.

Ustad Di Mazar
It is said that this tomb was raised as a memorial to the great architect and builder Ustad Syad Khan. The tomb of Ustad is situated at a distance of about two and a half kilometers from the Rauza Sharif. It has a pucca approach road.


Shagird Di Mazar
At a distance of one furlong from the tomb of Ustad, there is another beautiful tomb. This is the tomb of Khawaja Khan the 'Shagird' (Assistant) of Ustad Syad Khan. He too had attained great proficiency as a builder. Besides the architectural difference between the two tombs, this tomb once bore beautiful paintings most of which have now been lost. However, the surviving paintings reveal the high quality of art of painting during the medieval period. Known as the "Talanian Maqbaras" these tombs represent the typical Muslim style of architecture and in fact, resemble Humayun's tomb in Delhi, in out look.


Gurudwara Sri Fatehgarh Sahib
To commemorate the martyrdom of younger sons of Guru Gobind Singh who were bricked alive in 1704 by Wazir Khan, the then Fauzdar of Sirhind, a magnificent Gurudwara has been constructed. This Gurudwara is known as Gurudwara Fatehgarh Sahib, because it marks the conquest of the Sikhs in 1710 when under the leadership of Banda Bahadur, the Sikhs ran over the area and razed the fort (built during Balban's rule) to the ground.

Maharaja Yadvindra Singh of Patiala built the main entrance to the Gurudwara in 1952. The historical wall where the younger sons of Guru Gobind Singh were bricked has been preserved in this Gurudwara. The sanctuary containing the historic wall in known as Gurudwara Bhora Sahib.

Gurudwara Burj Mata Gujri and Gurudwara Shahid Ganj are also located in the main complex of Gurudwara Fatehgarh Sahib. It was at the site of Gurudwara Burj Mata Gujri that the two younger sons, Fateh Singh and Zorawar Singh of Guru Gobind Singh and his mother were kept in confinement by Wazir Khan, the fort was known as `THANDA BURJ', which was considered a cool place during the summer. But it was a punishment for Guru's sons and his mother to keep them here in extreme winter. It was at this place that Mata Gujri collapsed on hearing the news of the martyrdom of her grandsons. Later on, Gurdwara Mata Gujri was constructed at this place.

The Gurudwara Shahid Ganj has been built to commemorate the memory of those brave Sikhs who were killed while fighting with the Mughal forces under the banner of Banda Bahadur. They were cremated at this place. A very big hall in the memory of Seth Todar Mal who purchased land by paying gold coins for the cremation of the said martyrs has been constructed behind the main Gurudwara. A big tank has also been built in the Complex. A commemorative Jor Mela is held here in the month of December every year. A large number of pilgrims visit here.

Sanghol
This is an ancient site of Harappan culture and is being maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India. Sanghol, located on Ludhiana-Chandigarh Road and is in Khamano block of the District, is a major archeological site of India. Its importance lies not merely in the antiquarian relics discovered from the excavated remnants, but also because like Rupnagar (Ropar district) and Dholvaha (Hoshiarpur district), Sanghol had yielded a good harvest of sculptures. These objects of art are of immense historical importance. The discovery of the ruins of a huge Buddhist Stupa, and 117 pieces of beautifully executed stone sculptures from Sanghol has disproved the notion that Punjab did not have a major role in the development of ancient Indian arts. In fact, in the light of the discoveries of architectural remnants, stone and clay sculptures, coins, seals and sealing from Sanghol, art historians have already reversed their earlier views about Punjab's contribution to the cultural history of the country, and Sanghol has been identified as the then flourishing center of Buddhist art.

The remnants of the Stupa and the stone sculptures discovered near Sanghol have been the focus of attention of scholars and common people. Since some of these stone sculptures were displayed at an exhibition abroad put up in connection with the Festival of India, Sanghol's fame has mostly been woven around these treasures. Scholars too have mostly written on the stylistic and iconographic merits of these sculptures. Not much attention has been paid to the many other treasures found from Sanghol.

Hundreds of baked clay and terracotta figurines have been discovered from Sanghol. Some scholars in stray articles have casually noticed some of them. But they deserve an exclusive treatment in a comprehensive way. These objects of art are very rich in variety and creative expression. Most of these terracotta figurines seem to have been primarily meant for ritualistic rites performed by women. Children as toys perhaps used some of them. A few might have served the purpose of decorating walls and niches. The technique of making these terracotta figurines seems to be the same as that followed in other ancient Indian sites.

The terracotta figurines from Sanghol can be broadly classified under three heads: the primitive types of the timeless variety; the time-bound types representing characters and showing changes in taste; and the cult figurines following canonical prescriptions. Of course, there can also be a miscellaneous category to accommodate those, which cannot be brought under any of the three classifications.

The first category represents human, animal and avian figures. The human figures of this category mostly belong to the "star type". In the animal representations, the bull predominates, both numerically and in variety. The dog as a domestic pet is also seen. The second category consists mostly of human busts. The changing taste of the artists is reflected in the preferred variety of the form as also in the deviation from the stereotype. The forms seem to assume the meaning of characters. However, they do not seem to be 'portraits' in the true sense. These figurines seem to represent characters, which form a crowd, rather than 'personalities' that stand out. Foreign characters wearing European hats have also been found.

In the third category, there are numerous figures, which are difficult to identify. Many of their features are missing due to abrasion. Thus, their iconographical identity cannot be established. However, two figures stand out with distinct characteristics. A standing male figure holding a spear and a cock in his hands is indisputably that of Skanda-Kartikeya. Another male figure holding a flute near the mouth is likely to be the representation of Krishna as Venugopala. The terracotta art of Sanghol truly mirrors the picture of the folk traditions of ancient Punjab.

Floating Restaurant Sirhind
Floating Restaurant erected over the Sirhind Canal is a key tourist spot maintained by The Punjab Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC). It is at a distance of 5 KM. from Sirhind on GT Road. It magnetizes a large number of tourists, especially during summer. It is a unique type of Restaurant in whole of the Punjab. Built in the middle of the canal, it presents a scenic view to the visitors.

The Channel on which the floating restaurant is built supplies water to the states of Haryana and Rajasthan. This channel always carries 8000 cusecs of water and the giant vessels on which this restaurant rests are made in such a way that they can withstand this pressure. In the peak season, the water reaches 10,000 cusecs but that raises the water level by 6to 8 inches only and thus the structure does not come under any undue pressure.

« on: June 29, 2010, 06:50:46 AM »



The city is a historically important town north of Patiala, especially for the Sikh faith. It has a number of Gurudwaras (temples of Sikh faith), Gurudwara Fatehgarh Saheb and Gurudwara Jyoti Sarup are the most important among them. The town had a historically important event in 1704 when the two younger sons of Guru Gobind Singh who were bricked alive by Wazir Khan, the then Fauzdar of Sirhind. This Gurudwara Fatehgarh Sahib is now ereceted at the same place where the sacrifice happened. It is named Fatehgarh (Town of Victory) because it marks the conquest of the Sikhs in 1710 when under the leadership of Banda Bahadur, the Sikhs ran over the area and razed the fort (built during Balban's rule) to the ground.

Gurudwara Jyoti Sarup Sahib is about 1 Km from Fatehgarh Sahib on Sirhind- Chandigarh road. It was at this place that the mortal remains of Mata Gujri, the mother of Guru Gobind Singh and his two younger sons, Fateh Singh and Zorawar Singh were cremated. Wazir Khan, the then Faujdar of Sirhind refused to allow the cremation of the bodies unless the land for the cremation was purchased by laying gold coins on it. Todar Mal, who was an ardent devotee of Guru Gobind Singh, purchased this place of land by offering gold coins as demanded. And thus etched his name in the annals of Sikh history and earned the salutation of Deewan. The town has four memorial gates surrounding it, each in the memory of four important persons from the Sikh history associated with Sirhind. These are: Deewan Todar Mal, Nawab Sher Muhammed Khan, Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and Baba Moti Ram Mehra. All belonged to different castes / religions, thus depicting the harmony and brotherhood among people of those times.

Sirhind is famous for renowned Mujaddad Alif Saani Sheikh Ahmed Farooqi Sirhindi (Rh) great sufi saint a founder and repairer of Niqshbandi, Majaddaddi school of Sufism. His and his sons Masoom Sahib's and various others mausoleum is there, 200 meters from Gurdwara Fateh Garh.


Aam Khas Bagh
Fatehgarh Sahib district has many historic monuments that stand testimony to its Afghan and Mughal links. The Mughals are still alive in magnificent architectural legacy, which they had left for the future generations. One such monument is the Aam Khas Bagh. It was built by Akbar and later developed by Jehangir and Shahjahan. As the name suggests, the garden, spread in an area of a mile and a half, was divided into two parts meant for both, the 'aam' (public) and 'khas' (rulers). Mughal Emperors used to stay here while going to and coming back from Lahore.

The royal part of the building 'Sheesh Mahal' is also known as Daulat-Khana-e-Khas, it is a double-storeyed building. Jehangir built it for his residential purpose. It is considered to be the most beautiful building of those times. Beautiful paintings and murals on its walls show the love of 'Mughals' for art. It is surrounded by a number of fountains and a pool, but with the passage of time all these have turned into ruins.

The other part of the building, depicting perfect architectural mind of the 'Mughals', is a water tank also known as Hamam, where unique hydraulic system for heating water, and hot-and-cold air-conditioning facilities were adopted. Another monument, 'Sarad Khana' was also built by Jehangir in 1605. It was provided with a unique system of air-conditioning. The Aam Khas Bagh also has a pool with 'Mehtabi Chabutra' in the centre. It was used for organizing cultural activities, particularly for shows by female dancers and Mujra. The water for the fountains was drawn from a nearby well, known as 'Aasmani Khooh', and circulated through underground conduits.

The palace compound also has a set of fountains and fruit orchards that seems to have been around since the Mughal era. Rare plants of the Mughal period still exist here. The palace was a sort of summer retreat. Presently, the Punjab Tourism authorities are running a tourist complex 'Maulasari' & these monuments are being maintained by the Archaeological and Cultural Department of the Punjab Government. During the famous Jor Mela at Fatehgarh Sahib, light and sound programme regarding the history of Sirhind and the martyrdom of younger sons of Guru Gobind Singh is held here in the night.
