History:
The Gurudwara commemorates the visit of Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, to this location in 1688 after the Battle of Bhangani. Nada Shah, a local resident, served the Guru and his soldiers with utmost devotion. Impressed by his selfless service, Guru Gobind Singh blessed him. The site was later established as a Gurudwara to honor Nada Shah's hospitality and the Guru's visit. Over time, the Gurudwara has been expanded and renovated, becoming a significant pilgrimage site for Sikhs and people of all faiths. The Gurudwara stands as a testament to the Guru's message of compassion, equality, and service to humanity.
