== Early life ==
Like his elder brother [[Sahibzada Ajit Singh]], he started training in martial arts such as the [[Gatka]] along with the study of the religious texts. In 1699, when he was eight years old, he received the rites of [[Khalsa]] initiation, called the [[Amrit Sanchar]] Ceremony.
 
== [[Battle of Chamkaur]]==
He was one of the band that successfully waded through the flooded ''Sarsa'' rivulet on horseback and made their way to Chamkaur by nightfall on 21 December 1704, with the adversary in hot pursuit. The band comprised his father, [[Guru Gobind Singh]], his elder brother [[Sahibzada Ajit Singh]] and forty men. They erected a stockade (''Garhi'') and decided to fight to the last man.
 
By dawn, the Mughal forces of approximately 10 lakh had begun a siege of the Garhi and surrounding areas. As they ran out of ammunition and arrows, the [[Sikhs]] inside split themselves into batches of five each who would go out one after the other to engage the besiegers in hand-to-hand combat. Jujhar Singh led the last sally towards the end of the day (22 December 1704), and laid down his life fighting near the place where he had earlier seen his elder brother fall. ''Gurdwara Qatalgarh'' in Chamkaur Sahib now marks the site where he and Ajit Singh fell.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sikh-history.com/sikhhist/warriors/jujhar.html |title=SAHIBZADA JUJHAR SINGH (1691-1704) |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |website=www.sikh-history |publisher= |access-date=}}</ref><ref name=eos/>
 
When [[Guru Gobind Singh]] was asked about the whereabouts of their sons by their mother at [[Damdama Sahib]], his memorable reply was: {{Quotation

‘What if four have died, thousands of your children live’.
