Lakhewali (Muktsar)
From Pind Mera
"Lakhewali" (Lat: 30.45 Long: 74.35) is situated in the district of "Muktsar". Lakhewali is known for its fertile land and the residents have large land holdings, as the primary source of income of people living here is agriculture. Lakhewali as such does not have a history but Muktsar surely does.
Muktsar has a proud heritage. It is known as the last battlefield of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, which proved to be one of the most decisive conflict in the military history of the Sikhs. Literally the name of this city means "Muktisar" (the pool of liberation). The forty Sikh warriors who fought to death here against the Mughal tyranny more than three centuries ago are remembered by a grand festival held here every January, which attracts devotees from all over the world. The Maghi Mela ( ਮੇਲਾ ਮਾਘੀ ) held in the town of Muktsar, a day after Lohri (13 January) is very famous. It is held to commemorate the valour of 40 Muktas,( or the liberated ones ),who laid down their lives following Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji into the battle-field of Khidrana ( ਖਿਦਰਾਨੇ ਦੀ ਢਾਬ ). Another very popular attraction at the mela is a horse fair. BRAR is the main clan/gotra in the Muktsar region.
