Gurudwara Sri Gurusar Sahib Patshahi Nauvin, Sekha

Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji arrived here from Anandpur in January 1666. Guru Tegh Bahadur stopped at the site of the current Gurdwara, where there was a water pond, for 2 days. According to local tradition. At the time there were 22 surrounding villages inhabited by peasants of the Javada clan. The local leader Tirloka was a follower of a bairagi ascetic, Madho Das. Tirloka was very arrogant and ignored Guru Tegh Bahadur and his Sikhs. However, a numble man, Durgu by name, served Guru Tegh Bahadur with great respect and devotion. As Guru Tegh Bahadur saw Tirloka walk past in pride wearing silver slippers, Guru Ji enquired from his Sangat as to who he was and said the man lacked intelligence. Guru Ji said the following; Sun bole Satgur ris bhoye | nahi bahia nahi tehia koi || kuch nahi rehar ujar Sub jaweh | bachuh ju aaprus gram basaweh || nahi sardari nahi sardar | mar mar janmeh hoye khuaar || Tirloka soon realized his error and sought the Guru`s pardon for his insolence, through his sister at Kattu, where Guru Tegh Bahadur stopped next. The thara (platform) built on the mound near the pond was developed into a gurdwara. The cornerstone of the present building constructed by Bhai Kirpal Singh of Channa was laid on 20th May 1940.
