When the family of Guru Hargobind was staying at Kartarpur, a devout disciple of Guru Hargobind, Bhai Lal Chand one day met the Guru and requested him to engage his daughter Gujri with (Guru) Tegh Bahadur. He was thirteen years old at that time.
<br/><br/>The Guru Hargobind accepted his offer and marriage was fixed.
<br/><br/>The Guru invited all his relatives. (Guru) Tegh Bahadur and Guru Hargobind were dressed in colorful uniforms. There robes were jeweled and embroidered with golden threads. (Guru) Tegh Bahadur looked like a prince.
<br/><br/>When the marriage reached the house of Bhai Lal Chand, he along with his relatives came to receive the marriage party.
<br/><br/>He garlanded the Guru. He also received a beautiful garland from the Guru. There was a great hustle and bustle on that day. The people of the surrounding areas came to see the fireworks.
<br/><br/>The marriage party was served with rich meals.
<br/><br/>At the time of departure of the marriage party, Bhai Lal Chand bowed before Guru and said, 'I am not capable to give anything in dowry.'
<br/><br/>The Guru embraced him and said, 'When you have given your daughter you have given us everything.'
<br/><br/>After the marriage of (Guru) Tegh Bahadur, the Guru decided to celebrate the Baisakhi of that year at Kartarpur.
<br/><br/>The Sikh devotees from all over the country arrived at Kartarpur to pay homage to the Guru.
