Battle
Guru Hargobind's popularity became a cause of the tension between Sikhs and Mughals. The Mughal Emperor sent two generals, Qumar Beg and Lal Beg, with large number of soldiers to Bathinda to chastise Sikhs. Guru had 3,000 Sikhs under his command, supported by 1000 Sikhs under Rai Jodh's command. The battle took place at Lehra Beg in which both the Mughal commanders were killed along with large numbers of Mughal soldiers. On the other side, 1200 Sikhs were killed. After the Mughal generals were killed, the Mughal army rushed back to Lahore. Guru Hargobind built Guru Sar at the site of the battle in order to commemorate the great victory.
