The Battle of Muktsar or Battle of Khidrane Dee Dhab took place on 8 May 1705 (21 Vaisakh 1762 Bikrami calendar following the siege of Anandpur). In 1704, Anandpur was under an extended siege by the allied forces of the Mughals and the hill chiefs.The Guru's army was re-attacked by the Mughal army, being hunted down by general Wazir Khan, in the arid area of Khidrana-ki-Dhab. The Mughals were blocked again, but with many losses of Sikh lives – particularly the famous Chalis Mukte (literally, the "forty liberated ones"),and this was the last battle led by Guru Gobind Singh.The place of battle called Khidrana was renamed about a 100 years later by Ranjit Singh to Mukt-sar (literally, "lake of liberation"), after the term "Mukt" (moksha) of the ancient Indian tradition, in honour of those who gave their lives for the cause of liberation.
