The place remained obscure until nearby villager Bhai Motha Singh discovered the sacred spot and raised a platform to memorialize the Guru's visit. Nothing more is known of the devout Motha Singh nor of the date of the establishment of the Manji Sahib, except that the shrine was under the Dharmarth Board of [[Patiala and East Punjab States Union]] (PEPSU) in 1948 and was taken over by the [[Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee]] (SGPC) after the merger of the state with [[Punjab]] in 1956. | |||
[[Battle of Bhangani]] was fought between [[Guru Gobind Singh]]'s army and [[Bhim Chand (Kahlur)]] of [[Bilaspur State|Bilaspur]] on 18 September 1686, at Bhangani near [[Paonta Sahib]]. Number of Rajput Rajas of [[Sivalik Hills|Shivalik Hills]] participated in the war from [[Bhim Chand (Kahlur)]]‘s side.<ref>{{cite web| url= http://www.uq.net.au/~zzhsoszy/ips/g/garhwal.htmlk| title= Garhwal (Princely State)| access-date= 1 December 2007| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20071027091328/http://www.uq.net.au/~zzhsoszy/ips/g/garhwal.html| archive-date= 27 October 2007| url-status= live| df= dmy-all}}</ref> It was the first battle fought by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth [[Sikh Guru]], at the age of 19.<ref>{{cite book | |||

}}</ref> At the battle, initially Guru Gobind Singh initially did not do well, but ultimately won the battle. The [[Bachitar Natak]] mentions that the battle resulted in the victory of the Guru's forces and the enemy forces fled from the battlefield. | |||
The Guru, though victorious, did not occupy the conquered territory. Some historians such as H. Raturi, Anil Chandra Banerjee and A. S. Rawat speculate that the battle must have ended without conclusive result, since the Guru's victory is not reflected in any territorial annexations. The Guru entered into an understanding with Bhim Chand soon after the battle. However, this was most likely because the Guru was not after territorial gains, behaving as his great grandfather Guru Hargobind had done when winning battles against the [[Mughal Empire|Mughals]]. | |||
