MANDI, a district town in Himachal Pradesh, was formerly the capital of the princely state of that name. Guru Gobind Singh once visited it on the invitation of its ruler. Raja Siddh Sen. The Guru set up his camp outside the town. The ladies were escorted to the Raja`s palace. The shrine raised on the site of the Guru`s camp is called Gurdwara Padal Sahib. Its present building was constructed in 1926 by Dina Nath, chief secretary of the former Mandi state. The site inside the palace honours the visit of the ladies.
