Lohgarh was the capital of the first Sikh state (Panoramio photo of Gurudwara Quila Lohgarh only left mark of first Sikh state ) under Banda Singh Bahadur from 1710 to 1715.〔 〕 An older name of Lohgarh is Mukhlispur. After capturing Sirhind, in 1709 Banda Singh Bahdur captured Sadaura in 1709. He made Mukhlispur 〔Bingham,Jane "Sikhism" p. 21 Small Apple Media〕 the capital of first Sikh Empire, established where mukhlisgarh fort had been built by Shahjahan. He fortified it further and named it as Lohgarh. Old fort of mukhlispur was built by Mukhlis Khan an emir of Shah Jahan for his summer resort.Situated on an elevated summit at the steps of Himalayas, about half way between Nahan and Sadahaura about 21 miles 〔 〕 from Sadhaura and within boundaries of village ammuwal, it could be approached only by curly rocks and ravines. Old fort was repaired by Banda Singh & given a new name Lohgarh or Iron fort.It was surrounded by two rivulets Pamuwali and Daskawali, originally forming one stream.〔 ==Khalsa Currency & Stamp== Banda Singh issued Khalsa currency from here , a coin in the name of Guru Nanak-Gobind Singh with Persian inscription "sikkah bar har do alam tegh-i-Nanak wahib ast, Fateh Gobind Singh shah-i-shahan Fazal-i-Sacha Sahib ast" "Coin struck in the two Worlds by the grace of True Lord;Victory to Gobind Singh ,the King of Kings;the sword of Nanak is granter of desires" Banda singh also had a royal stamp inscribed "Degh *Tegh *Fateh *Nusrait-i-Bedirang Yaft az Nanak Guru Gobind Singh" "The kettle (symbol to feed the poor), the sword ( symbol of power to protect the weak and helpless) the Victory and unhesitating patronage has been obtained from Nanak Guru Gobind Singh." After Banda Singh Bahadur left Lohgarh in 1715 in search of a more secure place to defend against attacking Mughal forces, the Mughal and the forces of the Nahan State repeatedly uprooted the fort at Lohgarh. Presently there are only ruins of the fort in form of a few stones. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lohgarh (Bilaspur)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
