Faridkot was once capital of a Sikh state of the same name and has a 700-year-old fortress. The 13th-century poet and Sufi Baba Sheikh Farid lived here, and he is honoured by a festival (see p 200 ). His belief in equality influenced Guru Nanak (see the boxed text, p 1110 ) and some of his poems are in the Sikh holy book, the Guru Granth Sahib.
