Kiratpur Sahib (31.1820758°n 76.5635490°e) was established in 1627 by the 6th Sikh Guru, Guru Hargobind, who bought the land from Raja Tara Chand of Kehlur through his son, Baba Gurditta. The place is also associated with the memory of a Muslim saint, Pir Buddan Shah.
It is situated on the bank of the Sutlej about 10 km south of Anandpur, about 30 km north of Rupnagar and 90 km from Chandigarh on the Nangal-Rupnagar-Chandigarh road (NH21).[1][2]
It is a sacred place for the Sikhs. Guru Nanak Dev is said to have visited this place when it was little more than a wilderness. Guru Hargobind, the sixth Guru spent the last few years of his life here. Both Guru Har Rai and Guru Harkrishan were also born at this place and they received the Gurgadi (Guruship) at this place.[3]
There is a reference to this place in the hit film, Veer-Zaara (2004). Zohra Sehgal, plays a character in this movie whose last wish is that her ashes should be immersed in Kiratpur.
History
"A Sikh Shrine at Keeruthpore, Punjaub" by Francis Frith, ca.1850's–1870's
Location of Kiratpur Sahib in district Rupnagar
Kiratpur Sahib was founded by the sixth Guru Sri Hargobind Sahib. Here the seventh and eighth Gurus were born and brought up. It was here that Guru Gobind Singh along with his followers received the sacred head of the ninth Guru Sri Tegh Bahadur, brought from Delhi with great devotion and respect by Bhai Jaita in 1675. The particular spot associated with and sanctified by it, is known as Gurudwara Babangarh Sahib. The tenth Guru took the sacred head of his father in a procession to Anandpur Sahib for cremation. The Punjab Government has constructed a pillar here, on which is inscribed the following quotation from Guru Gobind Singh describing the unique martyrdom of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadurji, "The Lord (Guru Tegh Bahadur) protected their paste mark (Tilak) - and the sacred thread. A great deed he enacted in the age of kala (darkness)".
The city and its many Gurdwaras are sacred places for the Sikhs as several of the Sikh Gurus visited, were born and lived here. The ashes of several Gurus were immersed in the nearby Sutlej River. Even today many Sikhs come here to spread the ashes of their loved ones in the River.
The area is also associated with the memory of a Muslim saint, Pir Buddan Shah who was gifted with a very long life (local legends say about 800 years).
The Gurdwara is situated on the bank of the river Sutlej about 10 km south of Anandpur and about 30 km north of Rupnagar. It is on the Nangal-Rupnagar-Chandigarh road (NH21).

It was first rested here. From Gurdwara Teer Sahib the 6th Guru had revealed Gurdwara Patal-Puri by shooting an arrow. The 7th Guru was cremated at Patal Puri and ashes of the 8th Guru were immersed in river Satluj nearby. Gurdwara Baba Gurditta is located on a hill close by.
Gurdwara Shish Mahal
Gurdwara Shish Mahal in Kiratpur has been constructed on the site of the first building completed in the then New city of Kiratpur. Though the first building completed, it was not the first begun as the laying of Kiratpur Sahib's 'foundation stone' had preceded it. This was the home of Baba Gurditta, Guru Hargobind's eldest son, which later also served as the home of his father Guru Hargobind when he moved to Kiratpur Sahib in May 1635. Before leaving Kiratpur in 1635 the Guru's sons—the later Gurus—Guru Har Rai and Guru Harkrishan were both born here. Guru Har Rai's son Ram Rai and his daughter Bibi Rup Kaur were also born here.
