1. This is the condition of the Punjab mansion of Hindu businessman Todar Mal who paid 7,800 gold coins and bought 4 yards of land from the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb to bury the bodies of the 2 young sons and mother of Guru Gobind Singh on December 13, 1705.
2. The Mughal faujdar Wazir Khan had ordered the two young children be bricked alive as they refused to accept Islam. When they died, their grandmother died of shock.
3. The Mughals did not want to allow the cremation to humiliate the martyrs. They therefore stipulated that the buyer can take only as much space as he could cover with gold coins. All the Sikh chiefs just stood helplessly.
4. That's when Todar Mal produced the coins and bought the piece of land, and cremated the three bodies. The total cost of those 7,800 gold coins in today's value is approximately Rs 180 crore.
