The District of Mukatsar is situated in Punjab State of Northwestern India. It is 2615 Sq. Km.in area. It is surrounded by District Faridkot in the North, District Ferozepur in the West, District Bathinda in the East and States of Rajasthan and Haryana in the South.
Muktsar is intimately connected with Sikh religion.Guru Gobind Singh Ji, fought his last battle against Mughals in 1705 A.D. at Sri Muktsar Sahib.During fighting, 40 disciples of Guru Ji know as ‘40 Muktas’ sacrificed their lives. These 40 Sikhs were those who insisted that Guru Ji should leave the Anandpur Sahib fort, when it was besieged by Mughal army.
Guru Ji had than asked these followers to leave him if they so desired but they should give him in written that he is not their guru and they are not his Sikh i.e. followers. When these Sikhs returned to their homes in Majha territory of Punjab, they were not welcomed by family members as they had left the Guru at time of trouble. They were overcome by shame and not in a position to face Guru Gobind Singh Ji again.
