Muktsar , literally, means the Pool of Liberation.
Sri Muktsar Sahib has a proud heritage. It is known as the last battlefield of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, in 1705 A.D., which proved to be a most decisive conflict in the military history of the Sikhs. Sri Muktsar Sahib is a city and a municipal council in Sri Muktsar Sahib district in Punjab, India. Its historical/old name was Khidrāna.
The “Chalie Muktey” forty Sikh warriors fought to death here against the Mughals under the leadership of Guru Ji. After the war, the city was renamed as Muktsar in their memory and recently the government has renamed it as Sri Muktsar Sahib due to its religious as well as historical importance. Being a historical heritage, the city has many historical sites, mainly Gurudwaras like Gurudwara Tutti Gandhi Sahib|Sri Darbar Sahib, Gurudwara Tambu Sahib, Gurudwara Taran Taran Sahib, Gurudwara Tibbi Sahib (at the battlefield).
A few years ago, a new monument was built in the shape of Khanda Sahib, near DC office, in the memory of the forty martyrs.
