Guru Arjun Dev Ji was arrested under the orders of Mughal Emperor Jahangir for refusing to convert to Islam and for supporting rebel prince Khusrau. He was subjected to inhumane torture, forced to sit on a burning hot plate and have hot sand poured over his body. Despite immense suffering, Guru Ji remained composed and spiritually resilient. His final words, “Tera Kiya Meetha Lage”, “Sweet is Thy Will, O Lord” are etched in Sikh memory as a symbol of supreme devotion and acceptance of divine will.

Sikhs around the world observe this day with solemnity and devotion. Special kirtans, prayers, and readings from the Guru Granth Sahib are held in Gurdwaras. One of the unique traditions is the distribution of “chhabeels”—sweetened cold water offered to passers-by as an act of compassion and remembrance of the Guru’s sacrifice. Langars (community meals) are also organised to feed the needy and honour Guru Ji’s principles of service, equality, and faith. His martyrdom is not only a pivotal moment in Sikh history but also a universal reminder of the importance of standing up for truth and religious freedom, even in the face of death.
