Chhota Ghallughara Memorial

The Chhota Ghallughara Memorial, also known as the Chhota Ghallughara Yaadgar, is a memorial to the Sikh massacre of 1746, known as the Chhota Ghallughara, where over 10,000 Sikhs were slain by the Mughal administration and their allies. The 10 acre memorial is located in Kahnuwan Chhamb, Gurdaspur district, Punjab, India and was in-augurated by Parkash Singh Badal on 28 November 2011. The site is connected to a special pilgrimage bus service route by District Heritage Society Gurdaspur. A 15 kilowatt solar plant was in-augurated at the site in 2022. According to Vikramdeep Johal, the memorial's raising has been criticized by the Congress party as a political stunt by the joint SAD-BJP government in the run-up to the assembly elections.
