Muktsar

Muktsar, also known as Muktsar Sahib, is a city in the Indian state of Punjab. It is significant for its historical and cultural importance, particularly in Sikhism. The city is known for the Battle of Muktsar, fought in 1705, where Sikh warriors defended their principles against Mughal forces. Muktsar is home to several gurdwaras (Sikh temples), commemorating the sacrifices made during this battle. The name "Muktsar" translates to "the pool of liberation," reflecting its spiritual significance. Today, it is an important pilgrimage site for Sikhs and has a vibrant agricultural economy, typical of the region.
