Fateh Burj

The Fateh Burj (English: The Victory Tower; Punjabi: ਫਤਿਹ ਬੁਰਜ) is the tallest religious minar in India situated in the historical village of Chappar Chiri in the SAS Nagar district, Punjab. It was completed in 2011.[1][2] The 328 feet (100 m) tower is dedicated to establishment of the Sikh Misls in a large part of India in 1711.[3] Chappar Chiri village is along the Kharar-Banur Road, now officially named Banda Singh Bahadur Road. It is situated just outside Mohali, a few kilometres from Landran and 20 km from Sirhind. It was here that Banda Singh Bahadur, one of the most respected Sikh warriors, won a decisive battle against Wazir Khan, commander of the Mughal army.[4]
