Gobindgarh Fort, during 18th century, was known as Bhangian Da Qila as its founder, Gujar Singh, was the ruler of Bhangi Misl. In the early 19th century, the fort was conquered by the Sandhwalia Jat ruler Ranjit Singh, who re-named it Gobindgarh Qila in check the name of 10th Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Gobind Singh. The major reason for the construction of this fort was the protection of Sri Harmandir Sahib and the city of Amritsar from the Mughal and Afghan invaders who used to follow Grand Trunk road while entering Punjab. During 18th century they attacked Amritsar many times and destroyed Sri Harmandir Sahib many times. This fort tells great stories of more than 200 years of the glorious history of Sikh chiefs and Maharaja Ranjit Singh of the Punjab. The golden era of the Raj of Maharaja Ranjit Singh ended with second Anglo Sikh war in 1849 when British took over Punjab. After Independence the fort came under the direct control of Indian army, but now, after its appreciable renovation work done by the State Government of Punjab, it is open to the public from 10th of February, 2017 visit to this wonderful fort is one of its own kind and it adds to one’s knowledge along with great fun.
