After that Guru Sahib got a well dug there. Bhikhan shah owner of the near by garhi was also great follower of Guru Sahib, he offered lots of gift for Guru Sahib. One day nawab bjikhan shah met muslim soldiers who came here to arrest Guru Sahib. On conversation nawab bhikhan shah told them that samana is place of pure muslim so sikh suru cannt stay here. And later he himself came to Guru Sahib and told him the whole story and requested to accompany with him to garhi.

When Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji started his journey towards Delhi, he came to Samana via Kiratpur Sahib, Bharatgarh, Ropar, Bahadurgarh and Moti Bagh. Guru Ji arrived at the place of Sai Anayat Ali. Guru Tegh Bahadur would hold regular diwans and teach the local Sangat about Sikhi. The place where Guru Tegh Bahadur would sit is known as Gurdwara Sri Thara Sahib Samana.

The adjoining area to Gurdwara Sri Thara Sahib belonged to a cruel muslim whose ancestors used to be hindus. When one of Guru Tegh Bahadur’s Sikhs went to fetch water from a nearby well, the muslim threw the bone of a dead cow into the well. As a result Guru Tegh Bahadur built a new well for the villagers.
