The Jore Sahib, a pair of sacred shoes belonging to the Tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, and his wife, Mata Sahib Kaur, will be kept at Patna Sahib in Bihar, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, whose family has had custody of the relics over the last three centuries, announced Saturday. These are now scheduled to be at the core of an interstate yatra at the conclusion of which they will be established at the Patna Sahib Gurdwara located in the capital of poll-bound Bihar.

To commemorate the establishment of the Khalsa, Puri also said, one of the suggested locations for the holy relics was Anandpur Sahib, but there were more members of the community in favour of Patna Sahib.
