The Gurdwara established to commemorate the holy visit was originally a small hut. It was replaced by a proper Manji Sahib by Maharaja Karam Singh of Patiala (1798-1845), who also made an endowment of 500 bighas of land. Under post-independence tenancy laws, the tenants became owners of all but seven bighas.
The building was reconstructed by Bhai Chhota Singh (d. 1975) who looked after the Gurdwara for two decades. A small square room, constructed over the spot where he was cremated, is being developed into a picture gallery containing paintings of scenes from Sikh history.
The main building consists of a square assembly hall, with the sanctum in the centre marking the site of the original Manji Sahib. A domed square room has been constructed on the first floor over the sanctum. The Gurdwara is managed by a committee of local Sikhs.
