History of Gurdwara Pehli Patshahi

According to some tales Guru Nanak set out from Pakpattan and reached a place near Tulamba where some Sajjan Thug had set up a trapin the form of a caravan Sarae to loot the the travelers passing thru the ares, he tried to trap Guru Nanak but failed. Guru Nanak created this Shabd here; Bronze is bright and shiny, but when it is rubbed, its blackness appears. Washing it, its impurity is not removed, even if it is washed a hundred times. Hearing this Shabd, Sajjan became a friend of Guru. Sajjan's Sarai was converted into a Gurdwara to commemorate the friendship.

Bhai Jodh Singh, disciple and Army General (Battle of Gurusar) of Sat Guru Har Gobind Ji was a resident of this village; this Gurdwara was built by one of his descendants in Samvat 1870. Following the partition in 1947, a new Gurdwara was set up in Panipat Haryana by his descendants (Bhayana Clan).

Current Status

This place is beautifully built. Its boundary runs around in area of two ghumaon with Gurasthan at its centre: There used to be a big and beautiful pool (made of marble) west of it which has now been filled with soil and levelled; if this soil is dug out, the original pool can be restored. Rooms for the stay of Sangat have been built along the boundary wall. There are green trees, flowery creepers, rose, jasmine and other plants whose flowers blossom all around. At present Govt Higher Secondary School is housed in this building and Gurasthan is made the headmaster's office. The inner design of the dome is still the same as it was centuries ago and so are the tiles of the floor, yet other walls and buildings are regularly white washed.
