Gurdwara Tibbi Sahib Bhai Uday Singh Ji is a revered Sikh shrine located in the Rupnagar (Ropar) district of Punjab, India, situated along the banks of the Sutlej river on the historic Kiratpur Sahib–Bharat Garh road, on the far side of a canal. The name carries deep historical resonance: 'Tibbi' refers to a mound or elevated stretch of ground near the riverbank, while 'Bhai Uday Singh Ji' honors the valiant Sikh warrior martyr who, according to Sikh historical tradition, sacrificed his life at this very site during one of the most consequential episodes in Sikh history. The shrine stands as an eternal tribute to Bhai Udai Singh Ji and his fifty devoted Sikh companions, who made the supreme sacrifice during the evacuation of Anandpur Sahib in December 1705 CE. When Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the Sikh Sangat were compelled to leave Anandpur Sahib after a prolonged Mughal siege, the retreating column faced continued attacks by Mughal and hill-chief forces. Near the Sutlej river, Bhai Udai Singh Ji witnessed Sahibzada Baba Ajit Singh Ji—the eldest son of Guru Gobind Singh Ji—engaged in fierce combat with Mughal forces that had encircled the Sikh column. Without hesitation, Bhai Udai Singh Ji rallied fifty brave Singhs and charged into the battle, decisively breaking the Mughal encirclement and enabling the main Sikh body to cross the Sutlej and press forward. He and his fifty companions held the line with extraordinary valor and were ultimately martyred to a man. Today, Gurdwara Tibbi Sahib Bhai Uday Singh Ji serves as both a place of daily worship and a living memorial. Devotees from across Punjab and beyond visit the shrine to pay their respects, participate in the recitation of Gurbani, and partake in the community langar that is central to Sikh practice. The Rupnagar district is itself a place of immense Sikh historical significance, nestled in the foothills of the Shivalik range along the Sutlej, in proximity to Anandpur Sahib and Kiratpur Sahib—two of the most sacred sites in the Sikh world. For pilgrims undertaking a journey along the Guru Gobind Singh Marg—the route traced by Guru Gobind Singh Ji during the events of 1704–1705—this gurdwara holds a pivotal place. It not only preserves the memory of heroic martyrdom but also sustains the living tradition of Sikh devotion, community service, and Simran that defines Sikh spiritual life.
