Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji built a small fort at this location called Lohgarh, now known as Gurudwara Qila Lohgarh Sahib Amritsar. Increasing tensions erupted during a clash between a group of Sikh and Mughal hunting parties. The Battle of Amritsar started with the capture of a rare white Baz (hawk) which had been a gift to Shah Jahan from the Emperor of Persia. (The Hawk was at the time one of the royal symbols of authority).
On Vaisaki a party of Shah Jahan's troops was hunting in a royal private reserve near Gumtala village near Amritsar at the same time as some of the Guru's Sikhs. The Guru's hawk downed a special, rare white hawk that had been a gift of the Shah of Persia. The Sikhs had picked up and tethered the white hawk unaware that it belonged to the emperor. The Mughal troops, no doubt in a panic had seen the hawk fall and came looking for the Emperors prized Baz.
