A metal sign with the words "Bhai Baaj Singh" in large bold font stands in front of a grassy mound
A metal sign with the words "Bhai Baaj Singh" in large bold font stands in front of a grassy mound. The sign contains text about Bhai Baaj Singh, a resident of Mirpur Patti (Maarha), who was appointed as the first Subedar by Baba Banda Singh Bahadur ji after the victory of Chapparchiri and establishment of first Sikh Rule. He also led many war campaigns against the Mughals. He showed a tremendous proof of his bravery when he gave a severe beating to Mughal officers even when he was tied up in chains. Bhai Baaj Singh ji also embraced martyrdom along with Baba Banda Singh Bahadur ji on 9 June, 1716. The sign is situated on a grassy mound, the top of which is capped with a statue of a man on horseback. The statue faces directly forward. The scene is taken in Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar, India (latitude: 30.703, longitude: 76.668). The sky is bright blue and clear with no clouds. There are no people visible in the image.
