It was then that the Mughal Emperor requested the Guru to go to the Gwalior Fort which was accepted by Guru Hargobind Ji, and he went to fort with several companions.
In the fort, Guru Hargobind came across many Hindu Princes who were detained there due to political reasons and whose living conditions in the fort were terrible. Guru Hargobind along with the help of the governor of the fort, Hari Dass, improved the living conditions of the political prisoners. Later the Princes also joined the Guru in his daily prayers.
In the meantime Sai Mian Mir, travelled to the Emperor's Court to meet with Jahangir asking him to release the Guru.
