In 1665, Guru Tegh Bahadur left Makhowal (near present-day Anandpur Sahib) to visit Sikh sangats in the Gangetic plains. He was detained by the Mughals and was released by the intervention of Kanwar Ram Singh, son of Mirza Raja Jai Singh of Mewar.

From Delhi, the Guru travelled to Agra, Prayag, Benaras and Patna and the Sikhs of those regions served him with veneration. The news of Sikhs building temples in all towns of the Mughal empire reached Aurangzeb.
