When SRI GURU TEGBAHADUR JI was beheaded here, no one dared to pick GURU SAHIBS SACRED HEAD and his body. But with wish of akal purakh, swear storm swept through the city. Under the cover of dark blanket Bhai Jaita ji managed to escape with GURU SAHIBS SACRED HEAD to Punjab. GURU SAHIB's body was lies on the spot. One of GURU SAHIB devotees Bhai Lakhi Shah at his personal risk managed to take away GURU SAHIBS body to his house (Place where GURUDWARA SRI RAKAB GANJ SAHIB is situated). To cremate it openly would have led to detection, So he set fire to his house there by cremating the body in the traditional way.
