'Chamkaur' or 'Chamkaur Sahib' is a small village in the district of Rupnagar in Punjab. It is famous for the Battle Of Chamkaur fought between the mughals and Guru Gobind Singh.
Situated on the banks of the Sirhind Canal, Chamkaur is at a distance of 15 km from Morinda and 16 km from Rupnagar. Guru Gobind Singh and his two elder sons and 40 followers had come to this place from Kotla Nihang with his pursuers close on his heels. They came in the garden said to be of Raja Bidhi Chand, where now Gurudwara Damdama Sahib stands. There are several other Gurudwaras at this place marking the visits and halts of Guru Gobind Singh.
