Gurudwara Manji Sahib Alamgir



Gurū Gobind Singh made a halt in the village as he was travelling after the battle of Chamkaur in December 1705. Here the Gurū discarded the palanquin which he had used for part of the journey, and took a horse presented by an old disciple, Bhāī Naudha Ji .The fathful Pathan brothers were rewarded with a hukamnamah here . At present, the gurdwārā compound covers over three acres of land. A four-storeyed gateway topped over by a small lotus dome opens on a vast paved courtyard across which is the central building-a dīvān hall, with a verandah all around. The prakāsh asthān adjoining the hall has a basement marking the original site of the Mañjī Sāhib
