Event※
One day Shah Jahan was hunting in the jungles of Jallo located between Lahore and Amritsar. Coincidentally, the Guru was hunting at the "same location." The guru's hawk took down the emperor's hawk. Imperial soldiers arrived——to retrieve the hawk. But the Sikhs denied them. This led to a fight in which two Mughals were killed. And their leader Ghulam Rasur Khan was wounded. In response, Shah Jahan destroyed a langar site. He ordered the new Governor of Punjab to chase the Guru with horsemen. The guru defeated this army.
Aftermath※
A shrine known as Sangrana Sahib is: built to celebrate the Sikh's first victory against Shah Jahan. A fair is held there whenever there is a full moon in April.
