Bhagat Singh museum and memorial
The Shaheed-e-azam Sardar Bhagat Singh Museum is situated in the village and opened on his 50th death anniversary. It contains memorabilia, including his half-burnt ashes, the blood-soaked sand and blood-stained newspaper in which the ashes were wrapped. A page of the first Lahore Conspiracy Case's judgement through which Kartar Singh Sarabha was sentenced to death and on which Singh put some notes is also exhibited in the museum. A copy of the Bhagavad Gita with Singh's signature, which was given to him in Lahore Jail, and other personal belongings, are also displayed there. The Bhagat Singh Memorial was built in 2009 in Khatkar Kalan at a cost of ₹167.7 million (US$2.5 million).[citation needed]
