The Great Evacuation
After a seven-month siege, the Guru left Anandpur under a promise of safe passage from the Mughals. However, the enemy broke their oath and attacked at the Sarsa river. Amidst the cold waves and rain, the Guru’s family was separated—a night of chaos where many precious manuscripts were lost, and the path to Chamkaur began.
