Gurdwaras related to Guru Nanak were however could not be traced at these two places. At Agra he stayed at Mai Jassi’s residence again who now, totally dedicated to Guru Nanak’s teachings and remained in the saintly company of Bairagi sadhus.[1] From Agra, Guru Nanak passed through Mathura and Brindawan.</p><p></p><p><strong>Behror (Rajasthan)</strong></p><p></p><p>From Brindavan Guru Nanak proceeded to Behror in Rajasthan. He sat near a pond near the camp of torn-ear Yogis (<em>kanfata yogis</em>). They came to the guru and asked him to become a yogi like them. Guru Nanak sang a hymn in Suhi Rag. (SGGS, p.729)</p><p></p><p>Build the raft of meditation and self-discipline, to carry you across the river. There will be no ocean, and no rising tides to stop you; this is how comfortable your path shall be. Your Name alone is the colour, in which the robe of my body is dyed. This colour is permanent, O my Beloved. My beloved friends have departed; how will they meet the Lord? If they have virtue in their pack, the Lord will unite them with Himself. Once united with Him, they will not be separated again, if they are truly united. The True Lord bings their comings and goings to an end. One who subdues and eradicates egotism, sews the robe of devotion. Following the Word of the Guru’s Teachings, she receives the fruits of her reward, the Ambrosial Words of the Lord. Says Nanak, O soul-brides, our Husband Lord is so dear! We are the servants, the hand-maidens of the Lord; He is our True Lord and Master.</p><p></p><p>Everyone present was pleased listening to the hymn and realizing the meanings therein.[2] From there he proceeded towards Jind through Rewari, Gurgaon, Jhajjar, Beri and Narnaul.[3] From Jind he proceeded to Sunam. From Behror Guru Nanak Dev Ji passed through Gurgaon, Rohtak and reached Jind. From Jind through Narwana he reached Andana in Sunam Ditrict before reaching Sunam.</p><p></p><p><strong>Rohtak</strong></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22555[/ATTACH]</p><p style="text-align: center"><strong>Photo 36.1. Gurdwara Bangla Sahib Patshahi Nauvi, Rohtak</strong></p><p>When Sri Guru Tegh Bahadar Sahib came to Rohtak city during his spirituality preaching mission, he stayed here for three days and held regular sermons for the Sangat. Guru Sahib also helped in constructing wells around this area. As a memoir of his visit, Gurudwara Bangla Sahib was built at Babar Mohalla which is 4 km from Rohtak's main bus stand and 2.5 km from the railway station, Rohtak.</p><p><strong>Jind</strong></p><p> <strong>[ATTACH=full]22556[/ATTACH]</strong></p><p><strong> Photo 36.2. Gurdwara Manji Sahib Jind</strong></p><p></p><p>Jind, a district town in Haryana, was once the capital of a Sikh State of this name. Even after the capital had been shifted to Sangrur in 1827, the coronation ceremony of the rulers continued to be performed at Jind.</p><p></p><p>Jind was visited by Sri Guru Nanak Sahib Ji. Gurdwara Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Jind, also known as Gurdwara Manji Sahib Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib, was constructed by Raja Gajpat Singh, the first Sikh ruler of the Jind State. Of the original building, only the three storeyed gateway now remains. The rest has been replaced by a modern building with a spacious assembly hall the foundation of which was laid on 20th April 1975. It is topped with a massive dome, with a domed pavilion at each corner. To the east of the hall is the sarovar. Accomodation for Sikhs and Guru ka Langar is to the south of it. The Gurdwara is administered by a local committee with the assistance of a manager appointed by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee.[1]</p><p></p><p>When Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib reached Jind from village Khatkar he helped people by constructing many wells and water tanks around the area. Now the majestic Gurudwara Manji Sahib graces the town of Jind. This Gurudwara is a unique memory of his religious and social contribution to the region and is situated close to the railway station, near Rani Talab about 1 km from the main bus stand, Jind.

Gurdwara Sahib Narwana</strong></p><p><strong>Andana</strong></p><p></p><p>Andana village is located in Moonak tehsil of Sangrur district in Punjab, India. It is situated 15km away from Moonak and 66km away from Sangrur. As per 2009 stats, Andana village is also a gram panchayat. The total geographical area of village is 1681 hectares. Andana has a total population of 5,291 peoples in about 926 houses. According to Census 2011 the village location code of Andana village is 039954 and pincode is 148033. (3) According to Sri Mat nank Vijay Granth Guru Nanak came here and from here went to Sunam. ‘<em>Andane te Satigur aae Shehar Sunam’</em>. (4) According to Harinder Singh Bhullar of Andna (video) Guru Nanak came here from Jind and went to to Sunam. He stayed here for 13 days. 26 acres of land is attached to the Gurdwara. Gurdwaara guru nanakiwas Andana commemorates his visit to the place.</p><p></p><p><strong>Sunam</strong></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22558[/ATTACH]</p><p><strong> 36.3. Gurdwara Pehli Patshahi Kohliyanwala, Sunam, Distt Ludhiana</strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Sunam</strong></p><p>Sunam is a town and a tehsil near Ditrict Headqarter Sangrur in Punjab. Being the birth place of Shahid Udham Singh the freedom fighter, it is named as Sunam Udham Singh Wala in 2006. (5) Sunam is listed in the Ain-i-Akbari as a pargana under sirhind Sirkar producing a revenue of 7,067,696 dams for the imperial treasury and supplying a force of 2000 infantry and 500 cavalry. It had a brick fort of the time. It was one of the many towns under the rule of Wazir Khan (6) Sunam is located at 30.13°N 75.8°E. It is located on the Ludhiana-Hisar railway line. It has an average elevation of 231metres (757 feet). It has an ancient tank spread over 80 bighas. It is said that Sita, wife of Lord Rama, washed her hair in this tank when she was turned out of the house by Rama. Even now the widows of the surrounding area come here and wash ltheir hair. It is also said that at one time Kumbh fair of the Punjab was held here. The tank is, now, not in good condition. Shiv Mandirs have been built in the south west and north of the tank. A small Sheetla Mata Mandir has also been built in the south of the tank in which an ancient idol of Mata has been installed. This tank, it is said, was filled with the water of River Sarswati.[] “The Mubarak Shahi gives us some idea of “Firuz Shah’s” canal digging activity during this period. “The river Sarsati” (Saraswati) comes from the great mountains and falls into the Sutlej. An earthen hillock near a place called Barwar, Firuz was informed, separated the River Saraswati from the Salima canal (of Firuz Shah). If this hillock was dug up, the water of the Saraswati would flow into the canal which could then be taken to Sirhind, Mansurpura and further on to Sunam. Firuz went to the place and began digging up the hillock.” It is connected, by road with Patiala (64 km), Sangrur (13 km), Bathinda (95 km), Ludhiana (90 km), and Chandigarh (129 km).[7] As of 2011 India census (8) Sunam had a population of 334,641. Sunam has two colleges, the Guru Nanak Dev Dental College Sunam, and Shaheed Udham Singh Govt College Sunam. (9) (10)</p><p></p><p>After visiting Andana on Patran-Moonak Road Guru Nanak along with Bhai Bala and Mardana in 1566 Bikrami (1509 AD) while returning from his first itinerary and going to Sultanpur Lodhia, came and sat on the bank of Hansna River flowing south of Sunam . From here a Pandit of Lahad Gotra took him to his house in Sunam with great devotion. He and his old mother served the Guru with great devotion. After staying here for four days, Guru Nanak went to Nanakiana Sahib, Sangrur on his way to Sultanpur, Lodhi. Mention of this has been made in Bijay Granth of Sant Ren as follows:</p><p></p><p><em>Andane te Satigur aae Shehar Sunam. Utre aae so nadi pur Lahad le gayo dham.</em></p><p><em>Chaupai: Ik mai sewak tahi bhai. Pun tinte gur agya lai.</em></p><p><em>Guru Nanak Bala Mardana. Tahin te bida su bhaye mahana.</em></p><p><em>(Udasi Khand, Chodhwan Adhiyae, p. 686). (11)</em></p><p></p><p>Guru Nanak thus stayed for four days in Kohliyan Mohalla. Once Sant Atar Singh came to Sunam and held a congregation. He told the present sangat about the importance of the place about Guru Nanak’s visit and asked the sangat to construct a suitable Gurdwara at the place commemorating Gru Nanak’s vsit. It will be a great center of worship and spiritual centre and people will throng from near and far to visit it. With Captain Ram Singh leading, the sangat joined hand to construct a marvellous struture in honour of Guru Nanak Dev ji. Sant Baba Jagtar Singh and sant baba Kirpal Singh ji added further to its glory adding sarovar, langar hall and residential place for the tourists. Now regular congregtions are held on various gurpurabs and historical days and the sangat comes in large number.</p><p></p><p>Gurdwara Patshahi Pehli commemorates his visit to Sunam. While visiting Malwa, Guru Ji stayed near the Sirhind stream, after which he was invited to the house of a follower where a shrine was established. This gurdwara is constructed in 1919 and refurbished in 1966. It consists of a rectangular hall, gallery, a verandah, a brick-paved courtyard and a domed tower. It is believed that every wish is fulfilled at this gurdwara. (12) Gurdwara is now in a densely populated Sunam surrounded by houses from all sides. (13)</p><p></p><p>According to local tradition, he first stayed on the bank of the Sirhind stream, near what is now called Sita Sar. From there a devotee took him to his own house where a shrine was later established. It is located in the Gurdwara Mohalla and is known as Gurdwara Pahili Patshahi. The building constructed in 1919 was renovated in 1966. It consists of a rectangular hall, with a gallery at one end and a verandah in front. The sanctum in the centre of the hall is richly painted in multicoloured floral and geometrical designs. Three volumes of the Guru Granth Sahib are seated in it behind pipalleaf archways. There is a domed tower in front of the verandah. Rooms for the granthi and Guru ka Langar are across a narrow brick paved courtyard. The Gurdwara is managed by a committee representing the sangat of the locality.[14][15][16]</p><p></p><p><strong>Bhamabadi</strong></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22559[/ATTACH]</p><p style="text-align: center"><strong>36.3. Gurdwara Bhamabadi</strong></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22560[/ATTACH]</p><p><strong> 36.4. Gurdwara Bhamabadi</strong></p><p></p><p>Bhamabadi is a Village in Sangrur Tehsil in Sangrur District of Punjab State, Indialocated 9 KM towards west from Sangrur and 130 KM from State capital Chandigarh. It is close to Badrukhan (4 KM ) Its pin code is 148001 and postal head office is Sangrur. (17) According to Gur Tirath Cycle yatra (p.214) he came here from Akoi. Bhamabadi is 6.4 km from Akoi Sahib in the west. Guru Nanak’s place is one furlong towards the east of the village. At that time consruction of Manji sahib had not been done. People of the village used to gather here on the function of Lohdi, tied Nishan sahib to a tree. The place was known as Tahli sahib. An adjoning sarovar was famously nown as Grusar sahib. The local people told that whenever there is a disease or any other problem for the villagers, the villagers go there. There they see a white beard old man and five Sikhs who advise that Kdah parsad must be offered to win over the disease or the problem. Hence the entire village pays obeissance at the palce. However, there is no Gurdwara and the place is famous as <em>sadhan da dera</em>. There is no staying or food arrangments for the visitors though 100 bighas of land is attahd to the plaace which has high growth and large trees. The income from these fileds is eaten up by the sadhus. There is no manji sahib or Sri Guru Granth sahib (18) The study of the map shows that Guru nanak came here Sunam while returning to Sultanpur Lodhi from First Udasi. Now a splendid Gurdwara has been consructed at he place</p><p></p><p><strong>Bahadurpur,</strong></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22561[/ATTACH]</p><p><strong> 36.5. Gurdwara Bahadurpur </strong></p><p><strong> 36.6. Gurdwara Bunga Sahib Bahdurpur</strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Bahadurpur</strong> is a village in the Sangrur District of Punjab. It is located at 4km from the holy site of Mastuana Sahib, 10km from Sangrur, and 32 km from Barnala, on Sangrur-Barnala main road. It has a population of 8,367, according to the 2011 census. Its neighbouring villages are Duggan, Badrukhan, Badbar and Bhammabadi. This is the village of Jind riyast Raja sher Singh whose 4th generation presently lives in village. The majority of the residents are Jatt Sikhs of Khaira Gotra. Agriculture is the main occupation of majority population of village. Around 5% peoples are employed in Mastuana Sahib. Others are in army, teacher and in other Profession. (19). Bahaderpur Pin code is 148001 and postal head office is Sangrur. (20) According to local legend the Gurdwra commemorates a visit f Guru Nanak Dev ji while returning from first Udasi. A Gurdwara commemoirating his visit was constructed wigth Lakhnauri (Nanakshahi) bricks and was built like a bunga hence the name of the Gurdwra came to be nown as Bumga sahib. Now new whilte coloured has been constructed among the tropical trees. With a flight of steps leading to it, the structure is a magesgtic sight (21). Earlier structure has been plastered over and converted to a row of rooms for the visitors. Sri Guru Granth Sahib has been installed in the large building adjoining these rooms. It has big langar hall where meals are served round the clock. Gurdwara is on the road connected the village with the main road. (3) Buses are available from Sangrur and Barnala frequently. Both Sangrur n Barnala are railway stations as well.</p><p></p><p><strong>Mastuana,</strong></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22563[/ATTACH]</p><p style="text-align: center"><strong>36.7 Gurdwara Mastuana</strong></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22564[/ATTACH]</p><p style="text-align: center"><strong>36.8. Gurudwara Gursagar Sahib Mastuana Sahib Sangrur</strong></p><p></p><p>Situated at distance of 6 KM west of Sangrur on the Sangrur-Barnala Road, Mastuana was built by Sant Atar Singh a Pious man of Cheema. The Gurudwara is named after Jatt Mastu, who contributed his forest land to the saint Baba Atar Singh [1886-1927] for constructing a Gurudwara Gur Sagar and also a Tank in this place. The saint also started a High School in this place and a degree college has also come up now and is functioning since 1920. Every year from 29th to 31st Jan a Jor Mela is conducted here and is celebrated with much gaiety and enthusiasm. The saint Baba Atar Singh was cremated here and thus a big gathering and function is organized every year on 3rd July every year. Jor Mela is held hare for 3 days on 29, 30 and 31 January every year. Sant Baba Atar Singh was cremated here a big congregation his held on 3rd July every year.</p><p></p><p>Now the Gurdwara has become a huge compex where not only Gurdwara but also a large number of educational insitutions have been created by Mastuana trust. Bus service is available for every 4 to 5 minutes Gurudwara Gursagar Sahib Mastuana Sahib to Sangruru and Barnala. It is famous for its location and the teaching facilities available in and around the Gurudwara. The Gurudwara Gursagar Sahib Mastuana Sahib has now become learning and religious centre too for the backward people of the place. They were initially taught the religious Sikhism by Sant Attar Singh ji Mastuana Sahib who had a flair for teaching. Sant Atar Singh who built the Gurudwara Gursagar Sahib Mastuana Sahib took his birth in the year 1867in Cheema Village in Sangrur. The Saint was not only a famous religious leader, but was also a great orator, leader and a social worker, with high education and preached novel living culture to his people. The saint also felt that without basic education progress of one's own self as well that of the country as a whole, is impossible. Thus he developed this center as a religious place as well as an educational hub. In the year 1920 the Saint Atar Singh commenced the Degree College and also a High School, which was followed by various academic institutions in a row, thus serving the cause of the public in a great manner. Akal College of education is another land mark achieved by them for imparting teachers' education and the same was started in 2005, which has excelled in all areas including academic, cultural, and sports activities, say over a record period of 8 years which is indeed laudable. (22) There is long held belief of the people that Guru Nanak came here during return from first udasi. He came here from Bhamabandi and Bahadurpur and rwen to Kanjhla on his way to Sultanpur Lodhi. The foundation of present Gur dwara was laid in 1959 Visitors come here in large numbers to pay obeisance. (23) Punjab Goverement has approved a medical College at the place now.</p><p></p><p><strong>Kanjhla</strong></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22565[/ATTACH]</p><p style="text-align: center"><strong>36.9 Gurdwara Kanjhla</strong></p><p>[ATTACH=full]22566[/ATTACH]</p><p style="text-align: center"><strong>36.10 Gurudwara Jhira Sahib Kanjhla, Sangrur</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center">Gurdwara Jhira Sahib is situated in the village Kanjhla of District Sangrur. It is 18 km from Sangrur and 6 km from Ladda Chowk on Sangrur-Ludhiana road. From Dhuri, the village Kanjhla is 12 km. The villagers of Kanjhla claim that Guru Nanak Ji, Guru Hargobind Ji, and Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji had visited their village successively. A common Gurdwara dedicated to the three Gurus is about a furlong west of the village where a thick growth of shrubs and bushes existed (Jhira in Punjabi language) after which it came to be popularly known as Jhira Sahib.

[QUOTE="dalvinder45, post: 225184, member: 26009"] [B] [SIZE=6]RETURNING TO PUNJAB[/SIZE][/B] [CENTER][/CENTER] From Gwalior Guru Nanak reached Agra on 4 Bhadron Samvat 1566 after crossing Chambal River and passing through Dholpur and Bharatpur. Gurdwaras related to Guru Nanak were however could not be traced at these two places. At Agra he stayed at Mai Jassi’s residence again who now, totally dedicated to Guru Nanak’s teachings and remained in the saintly company of Bairagi sadhus.[1] From Agra, Guru Nanak passed through Mathura and Brindawan. [B]Behror (Rajasthan)[/B] From Brindavan Guru Nanak proceeded to Behror in Rajasthan. He sat near a pond near the camp of torn-ear Yogis ([I]kanfata yogis[/I]). They came to the guru and asked him to become a yogi like them. Guru Nanak sang a hymn in Suhi Rag. (SGGS, p.729) Build the raft of meditation and self-discipline, to carry you across the river. There will be no ocean, and no rising tides to stop you; this is how comfortable your path shall be. Your Name alone is the colour, in which the robe of my body is dyed. This colour is permanent, O my Beloved. My beloved friends have departed; how will they meet the Lord? If they have virtue in their pack, the Lord will unite them with Himself. Once united with Him, they will not be separated again, if they are truly united. The True Lord bings their comings and goings to an end. One who subdues and eradicates egotism, sews the robe of devotion. Following the Word of the Guru’s Teachings, she receives the fruits of her reward, the Ambrosial Words of the Lord. Says Nanak, O soul-brides, our Husband Lord is so dear! We are the servants, the hand-maidens of the Lord; He is our True Lord and Master. Everyone present was pleased listening to the hymn and realizing the meanings therein.[2] From there he proceeded towards Jind through Rewari, Gurgaon, Jhajjar, Beri and Narnaul.[3] From Jind he proceeded to Sunam. From Behror Guru Nanak Dev Ji passed through Gurgaon, Rohtak and reached Jind. From Jind through Narwana he reached Andana in Sunam Ditrict before reaching Sunam.

[B]Jind [ATTACH type="full" width="679px"]22556[/ATTACH] Photo 36.2. Gurdwara Manji Sahib Jind[/B] Jind, a district town in Haryana, was once the capital of a Sikh State of this name. Even after the capital had been shifted to Sangrur in 1827, the coronation ceremony of the rulers continued to be performed at Jind. Jind was visited by Sri Guru Nanak Sahib Ji. Gurdwara Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Jind, also known as Gurdwara Manji Sahib Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib, was constructed by Raja Gajpat Singh, the first Sikh ruler of the Jind State. Of the original building, only the three storeyed gateway now remains. The rest has been replaced by a modern building with a spacious assembly hall the foundation of which was laid on 20th April 1975. It is topped with a massive dome, with a domed pavilion at each corner. To the east of the hall is the sarovar. Accomodation for Sikhs and Guru ka Langar is to the south of it. The Gurdwara is administered by a local committee with the assistance of a manager appointed by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee.[1] When Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib reached Jind from village Khatkar he helped people by constructing many wells and water tanks around the area. Now the majestic Gurudwara Manji Sahib graces the town of Jind. This Gurudwara is a unique memory of his religious and social contribution to the region and is situated close to the railway station, near Rani Talab about 1 km from the main bus stand, Jind.

Gurdwara Pehli Patshahi Kohliyanwala, Sunam, Distt Ludhiana Sunam[/B] Sunam is a town and a tehsil near Ditrict Headqarter Sangrur in Punjab. Being the birth place of Shahid Udham Singh the freedom fighter, it is named as Sunam Udham Singh Wala in 2006. (5) Sunam is listed in the Ain-i-Akbari as a pargana under sirhind Sirkar producing a revenue of 7,067,696 dams for the imperial treasury and supplying a force of 2000 infantry and 500 cavalry. It had a brick fort of the time. It was one of the many towns under the rule of Wazir Khan (6) Sunam is located at 30.13°N 75.8°E. It is located on the Ludhiana-Hisar railway line. It has an average elevation of 231metres (757 feet). It has an ancient tank spread over 80 bighas. It is said that Sita, wife of Lord Rama, washed her hair in this tank when she was turned out of the house by Rama. Even now the widows of the surrounding area come here and wash ltheir hair. It is also said that at one time Kumbh fair of the Punjab was held here. The tank is, now, not in good condition. Shiv Mandirs have been built in the south west and north of the tank. A small Sheetla Mata Mandir has also been built in the south of the tank in which an ancient idol of Mata has been installed. This tank, it is said, was filled with the water of River Sarswati.[] “The Mubarak Shahi gives us some idea of “Firuz Shah’s” canal digging activity during this period. “The river Sarsati” (Saraswati) comes from the great mountains and falls into the Sutlej. An earthen hillock near a place called Barwar, Firuz was informed, separated the River Saraswati from the Salima canal (of Firuz Shah). If this hillock was dug up, the water of the Saraswati would flow into the canal which could then be taken to Sirhind, Mansurpura and further on to Sunam. Firuz went to the place and began digging up the hillock.” It is connected, by road with Patiala (64 km), Sangrur (13 km), Bathinda (95 km), Ludhiana (90 km), and Chandigarh (129 km).[7] As of 2011 India census (8) Sunam had a population of 334,641. Sunam has two colleges, the Guru Nanak Dev Dental College Sunam, and Shaheed Udham Singh Govt College Sunam. (9) (10) After visiting Andana on Patran-Moonak Road Guru Nanak along with Bhai Bala and Mardana in 1566 Bikrami (1509 AD) while returning from his first itinerary and going to Sultanpur Lodhia, came and sat on the bank of Hansna River flowing south of Sunam . From here a Pandit of Lahad Gotra took him to his house in Sunam with great devotion. He and his old mother served the Guru with great devotion. After staying here for four days, Guru Nanak went to Nanakiana Sahib, Sangrur on his way to Sultanpur, Lodhi. Mention of this has been made in Bijay Granth of Sant Ren as follows: [I]Andane te Satigur aae Shehar Sunam. Utre aae so nadi pur Lahad le gayo dham. Chaupai: Ik mai sewak tahi bhai. Pun tinte gur agya lai. Guru Nanak Bala Mardana. Tahin te bida su bhaye mahana. (Udasi Khand, Chodhwan Adhiyae, p. 686). (11)[/I] Guru Nanak thus stayed for four days in Kohliyan Mohalla. Once Sant Atar Singh came to Sunam and held a congregation. He told the present sangat about the importance of the place about Guru Nanak’s visit and asked the sangat to construct a suitable Gurdwara at the place commemorating Gru Nanak’s vsit. It will be a great center of worship and spiritual centre and people will throng from near and far to visit it. With Captain Ram Singh leading, the sangat joined hand to construct a marvellous struture in honour of Guru Nanak Dev ji. Sant Baba Jagtar Singh and sant baba Kirpal Singh ji added further to its glory adding sarovar, langar hall and residential place for the tourists. Now regular congregtions are held on various gurpurabs and historical days and the sangat comes in large number. Gurdwara Patshahi Pehli commemorates his visit to Sunam. While visiting Malwa, Guru Ji stayed near the Sirhind stream, after which he was invited to the house of a follower where a shrine was established. This gurdwara is constructed in 1919 and refurbished in 1966. It consists of a rectangular hall, gallery, a verandah, a brick-paved courtyard and a domed tower. It is believed that every wish is fulfilled at this gurdwara. (12) Gurdwara is now in a densely populated Sunam surrounded by houses from all sides. (13) According to local tradition, he first stayed on the bank of the Sirhind stream, near what is now called Sita Sar. From there a devotee took him to his own house where a shrine was later established. It is located in the Gurdwara Mohalla and is known as Gurdwara Pahili Patshahi. The building constructed in 1919 was renovated in 1966. It consists of a rectangular hall, with a gallery at one end and a verandah in front. The sanctum in the centre of the hall is richly painted in multicoloured floral and geometrical designs. Three volumes of the Guru Granth Sahib are seated in it behind pipalleaf archways. There is a domed tower in front of the verandah. Rooms for the granthi and Guru ka Langar are across a narrow brick paved courtyard. The Gurdwara is managed by a committee representing the sangat of the locality.[14][15][16] [B]Bhamabadi[/B] [ATTACH type="full"]22559[/ATTACH] [CENTER][B]36.3.
