Places to visit

Gurudwara 'Tuti Gandhi Sahib'

This Gurudwara was built in honor of 40 soldiers of Majha who died while fighting gallantly for him. These soldiers had deserted Guru Gobind Singh during the siege of Anandpur Sahib, but later rejoined the Guru's army after being looked down upon by their women . It is said that the Guru kissed all dead and the dying and absolved them. The daily prayers of the Sikhs contain references to this incident.

Gurudwara Tibbi Sahib

Guru Gobind Singh ji used this place to shoot arrows at the enemies while fighting with Moguls. It was here that the Guru rested his weary limbs for a while.
