Long Overview:
Sis Ganj Gurdwara is about 300 metres from Gurdwara Manji Sahib, is sacred to Guru Tegh Bahadur. After the Guru had been executed publicly in Delhi on 11 November 1675 under the orders of Emperor AURANGZIB, one of his Sikhs, Bhai Jaita carried off his severed head to Anandpur, while his body was cremated by Bhai Lakkhi Shah in Delhi. Bhai Jaita traveling incognito with the Guru`s head (sis) stayed in a Sikh`s house in Ambala, the site of the present Gurdwara Sis Gary. Local devotees raised a platform to mark the spot. In 1913, when the Sikh Educational Conference met for its sixth annual session at Ambala, the site sprang into limelight. The custodians of the adjoining Muslim shrine of Twakkal Shah objected to the Sikhs` visiting the place in large numbers. A civil suit followed which, however, went in the Sikhs` favour . In 1925, the control was entrusted to the newly constituted Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee. The new building, completed in 1969, consists of a double storey domed gateway and a small divan hall.
