Holy place for sikhs
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 Nigahia Singh Ji . .

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
