Bhai Bachittar Singh, a warrior under Guru Gobind Singh, was a brave hero who drove a spear into the head of an intoxicated elephant at the Battle of Anandpur. Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and a small number of Sikhs were defending their position in Lohgarh fort of Anandpur Sahib, which was under attack by numerically far suprior forces under the rule of the Moghul Emperor Aurangzeb and the Hindu rulers of the Hill States. Despite superior numbers, the besieging forces were unable to penetrate the heavily-defended fort. They brought forth an armored, drunken elephant to batter in the gates. Bhai Bachittar Singh was tasked with stopping the elephant, armed with a nagni barcha, a type of spear. Bachittar Singh rode out of the fort on horseback and attacked the elephant, thrusting his spear into the animal's forehead and cutting its trunk with his sword. The wounded elephant retreated, disrupting the attackers' ranks.
