Ganga Sagar (urn)
Ganga Sagar ((パンジャーブ語:ਗੰਗਾ ਸਾਗਰ)) , is the name given to the sacred relic which belonged to the tenth master of Sikhism, Guru Gobind Singh. It is a traditional copper urn of the 17th century, which weighs approximately half a kilo gram and is less than 1 foot in height.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=sikhchic.com - The Art and Culture of the Diaspora - Ganga Sagar: History, Legend, Devotion ... )〕 It has about two hundred holes carved throughout the rim of the base.〔Manpreet Singh. Ganga Sagar: History, Legend, Devotion. 30 Dec 2008. http://www.apnaorg.com/columns/manpreet/col17.html〕 Historical significance is given to this relic because it is believed that Guru Gobind Singh drank milk out of this in 1705.〔"Guru Gobind Singh's Pitcher in India."

==History==
The history of the ganga sagar has been recorded after the current protector, Rai Azizullah Khan researched historical public records preserved by the British Raj. In 1705, Guru Gobind Singh, turned towards the city of Raikot after walking through the Machiwara Jungle. At Raikot, Noora Mahi, a cattle grazer first met the Guru while he was looking for water to drink. He requested Noora Mahi to bring him water or milk in the Ganga Sagar (one of the personal belongings of the Guru). However Noora Mahi refused as the buffalo had already been milked and even if it were to give milk, the Ganga Sagar would not be able to contain it due to the holes carved around its base. Despite Noora Mahi's claims, the Guru ordered Noora Mahi to say the name of God, rub the belly of the cow and poor the milk in the Ganga Sagar. To Noora Mahi's surprise, the cow gave milk and the milk did not spill through the holes of the Ganga Sagar. Astonished, Noora Mahi told his chief the incident and lead him to meet with the Guru. At the meeting Rai Kahla, the present Muslim chief of Raikot, welcomed the Guru, not only risking his position as chief but his own life and the life of his family and subjects from Aurangzeb.〔
Three days later, on January 5, 1705, when leaving the shelter provided by Rai Kahla, the Guru presented Rai Kahla with two of his belongings, a sword and the Ganga Sagar, as a token of gratitude.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sikh devotees bereft of glimpse of sacred urn )〕 The sword is currently located in a museum in New Zealand, while the Ganga Sagar has been in custody of the Rai family for decades now.〔Khan, Rai. Interview by Amarjit Rai. 24 minutes. Aikam. Aikam Media Group, Vancouver: Nov. 2012. (). http://aikam.com/rai-azizullah-khan-ganga-sagar/〕 It remained in the haveli of Raikot till 1947, until it was moved to Pakistan with the partition of India as the Rai family relocated.〔Jathedar, Vada.
