Gurdwara Sri Data Bandi Chhor Sahib is the gurdwara (house of worship for Sikhs) in Gwalior city in Madhya Pradesh, India. This Gurdwara is associated with the imprisonment of Guru Har Gobind Sahib in Gwalior Fort[1]

Nomenclature

edit

According to Sikh tradition, the 52 kings imprisoned as hostages in the fort for opposing the Mughal Empire were disheartened because they were losing a spiritual guru.[2] Guru Hargobind Ji refused to be released unless the other prisoners were also released. Jahangir ordered that only those kings who could hold the Guru's Chola could be released. Guru Hargobind had a special chola stitched. As soon as Guru Hargobind left the fort, the captive kings caught hold of Guru Hargobind Ji and came out with him. This earned the Guru the title of Data Bandi Chhor and that's why Gurdwara names Gurdwara Data Bandi Chhor[3]
