The two young boys of Guru Gobind Singh were captured by the Mughal ruler of Sirhind in 1704, during the turbulent reign of the Mughal Empire. Sahibzada Zorawar Singh, who was nine years old, and Sahibzada Fateh Singh, who was seven years old, declined to give up their beliefs and become Muslims despite their youth. They endured torture before being crucified, but not before holding fast to their faith all the way to the end.

Generations of Sikhs worldwide are still motivated by their unyielding faith and selflessness today.

In addition, religious processions known as nagar kirtans and the commencement of the Guru Granth Sahib recitation known as aarambh path are held to mark the day.
