It is 8 kos from Makhsoodabad. It is now a district town. It is known for its Mangoes. Guru Nanak took off at this point. It is said that a money-lender by the name of Ram Dev met Guru Nanak here. He was much impressed by Guru Nanak. The Guru stayed here for some time. Guru Nanak came in the garden and he was very well looked after by the Bengali King. He presented the entire garden to the Guru which is being looked after udasis.

In the town he had met various Muslim saints and delivered discourses. A merchant was highly impressed by the discourses of the Guru and dedicated his mango garden to the Guru in which the guru had delivered his sermons. The placehas been known as ‘Guru ka Bagh’. The place was converted into sangat and was revered by the local sangat. There used to be two rooms and a verandah at the place where the Guru had stayed and was looked after by Udasis. This however is now in disuse and these two buildings have vanished. Four walls about three feet high with two doors on the plinth of 80’x40’ reminded of the existence of an earlier complex. Within walls there was a place where the Guru used to sit as indicated by a local person Dr Shambu Bihar Aggarwal. The local people used to greatly revere the place. None of the family allowed even their children to make water or ease themselves in or around the enclosure. Nobody ever thought of ever picking up any brick from the place. In the records of Municipality, it was shown as a place of Sikh worship. The tax assessment register of the Municipality also showed that it was ‘Sikh Worship Place’ and the ‘Sikh Community’ was shown as the owner. The number of the holding was 98, Mauza Sharbari, Old Maldah.[17.2] It remained the property of sangat till it was later converted in to a local school. In 1945-47 Sardar Gyan Singh Kahlon ICS, the then District Magistrate of Malda got a boundary wall constructed around the place with the help of Sardar Narain Singh contractor. During their visit on 6th February 1974, the team from Guru Nanak DevUniversity consisting of Dr Raghubir Singh Tak and sabinder Singh sagar found a school in the place of the garden complex. The place was in Old Maldah and there was no Sikh around however there was only one Sikh Sardar family of Sardar Harmahinder Singh Makkar living in New Maldah area after his migration from West Punjab in 1947[17.2]. Malda was also visited by Guru Tegh Bahadur. A commemorative shrine existed in Power House Lane in Sarbari Area of Old Malda. It was called Gurdwara Nima Sarai Guru Tegh Bahadur. With the rise of new Malda town across the river, Old Malda was depopulated and the Sikh Gurdwara was deserted. Yet two masonry platforms and an old well remained on the site which continued to be shown as Gurdwara property in revenue records. Interest in the old Gurdwara was revived during the 1960s when a contractor in road building business constructed a compound wall around the remains.
