A Confluence of Sikh Pride in Sri Anandpur Sahib: Heritage Path and Bhai Jaita Ji Memorial- Reviving Punjab's Glorious Legacy

A new historical chapter is being written once again at the sacred city of Sri Anandpur Sahib, where the Tenth Guru, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, founded Khalsa Panth in 1699. The Punjab Government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, is going ahead with two major projects to revive the state's religious and cultural heritage: Heritage Path (Virasati Marg) and Shaheed Baba Jeevan Singh (Bhai Jaita Ji) Memorial.

The Heritage Path will have white marble on the route leading to Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib, constructed at a cost of approximately ₹25 crore. This beautifully designed walkway, stretching 580 meters, will boast artistic paintings and architectural elements that showcase the complete historical journey of Khalsa Panth, which the devotees can relive.Chief Minister Mann said the project is a milestone towards making Anandpur Sahib a global hub of religious tourism.

Besides, the State Government has thrown open the Baba Jeevan Singh (Bhai Jaita Ji) Memorial, which was constructed at a cost of around ₹29 crore, to the public. The memorial consists of five galleries, each with modern technology, showcasing the life, unparalleled bravery, and sacrifice of Bhai Jaita Ji, and the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji in an emotionally powerful way. One of the special depictions is of the moment when Bhai Jaita Ji transported the holy head of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji from Delhi to Anandpur Sahib, where he offered the supreme sacrifice, after which Guru Gobind Singh Ji honored him with the title “Rangreta Guru Ka Beta.”

Chief Minister Mann said, "The holy land of Sri Anandpur Sahib has not only shaped the history of Punjab but also transformed the course of India's history. It is our privilege to make this glorious heritage shine even brighter."

The Punjab Government is not only protecting the state’s rich culture but also building a special identity for future generations.
