The Gurudwara commemorates the birth place of Baba Deep Singh, the most revered Sikh-scholar-warrior martyr. Born on 26 Jan 1682 at Pahuwind, Babaji died at the age of 75, leading a heavily outnumbered Sikh army against Afghans who had occupied and desecrated the Harmandir Sahib. His martyrdom is without parallel in that, supporting his almost completely severed head with one hand, he continued to wield his broadwsord with the other to keep his tyrst with destiny, breathing his last in the precincts of Harmandir Sahib on 11 Nov 1757. A memorial marks this hallowed spot. Equally unparalleled are his literary services to Khalsa Panth.Guru Gobind Singh Ji himself praised Bhai Mani Singh for services rendered in rewriting of Sri Guru Granth Sahib at Damdama Sahib by providing writing materials.Later on he wrote 4 Copies of Sri Guru Granth sahib in his own handwriting and sent these to 4 Sikh Takhats including Sri Akal Takhat Sahib at that time.Baba Ji is more famous for his soldier image but his acts as Saint are less publicized which have equal or even more importance.
