The Fateh Burj (English: The Victory Tower), a prominent tourist site in Punjab and the tallest victory tower in India, is situated in the historical village of Chappar Chiri in the SAS Nagar district (Mohali district) of Punjab state. It was completed in 2011.[1][2] The 328-foot (100 m) tower is dedicated to establishment of the Sikh Misls in a large part of Punjab in 1711.[3] It is situated in Banda Singh Bahadur Road. It is situated just outside Mohali, 140 kilometres from Amritsar and 20 km from Sirhind. It was here that Banda Singh Bahadur, one of the most respected and great Sikh warriors, won a decisive battle against Wazir Khan, commander of the Mughal army.[4]
