The forty Sikhs who returned to fight at Khidrana are remembered in Sikh tradition as the Chali Mukte, the Forty Liberated Ones, and their names are recited in the Ardas, the standard Sikh congregational prayer recited at the close of most religious gatherings, giving the episode a place in ongoing devotional practice rather than only in historical memory.
Following the battle, Khidrana was renamed Muktsar, meaning pool of liberation, in honor of the sacrifice of the Chali Mukte, and the town remains an important Sikh pilgrimage site, home to a major gurdwara commemorating the battle and hosting an annual fair, the Maghi Mela, held each January to mark the anniversary of the event.
Mai Bhago, who led the returning Sikhs and is said to have survived the battle, went on, according to Sikh tradition, to serve as one of Guru Gobind Singh's personal bodyguards for the remainder of his life, and she is remembered today as one of the most significant women in Sikh history, honored for both her role at Muktsar and her continued service afterward.
The Maghi Mela fair held annually at Muktsar draws Sikh pilgrims from across Punjab and the wider diaspora each January, combining religious observance at the gurdwara with a broader community gathering, and the town's modern name is now used exclusively in place of its earlier name Khidrana in both everyday and administrative use, a rare case of a battle's outcome permanently renaming the ground on which it was fought.
