MATTAN ( KASHMIR ) , SIKH GURUS AND KASHMIRI PANDITS..
The Mattan town in south Kashmir had a centuries-old history of close association with Punjab and the Sikh Gurus. Pandit Aru Ram Dutt from Mattan was blessed by Guru Har Rai. Pandit Kirpa Ram Dutt became Kirpa Singh and sacrificed his life in the historic battle of Chamkaur Sahib when he joined Sikh soldiers of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Sanmukh Singh ( Sanmukh Ram Dutt, the younger brother of Kirpa Ram ) was another martyr at the battle of Chamkaur Sahib. These persons are mentioned in the Sikh scriptures. Guru Nanak Dev Ji addressed a huge congregation of Brahmins at Nagbal in Mattan under the lofty Chinars. A Gurdwara has been built at the spot to commemorate the visit of Guru Nanak Dev ji to the town
