According to a strong Sikh tradition, Sangat Singh was the Sikh who bore a striking resemblance to Guru Gobind Singh. As such, during the Battle of Chamkaur, when only the Guru and five Sikhs remained alive, the five Sikhs acting as Panj Piare commanded the Guru to escape; Sangat Singh then disguised himself as the Guru. After the Guru and three of his Sikhs escaped under the cover of night, the Mughal and Pahari force stormed the fortress. Tradition speaks of Sangat Singh’s extraordinary ability in fighting off the horde but ultimately he was cut down although he initially fooled the opposing soldiers by his disguise.}}</ref>
