BHANO KHERI, a village in Ambala district of Haryana, is sacred to Guru Gobind Singh. Being escorted as a small child from Patna to Anandpur, in 1670-71, he made a fairly long halt at Lakhnaur. As he was playing with his friends one day, the ball (gend) hit by him landed near Bhano Kheri and he came here to collect it. Hence the name of the Gurdwara Gend Sahib Patshahi Dasvin which now stands outside the village to the northeast. The Gurdwara consists of a single domed room surrounded by a covered passage for circumambulation. It is managed by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee through a local committee. .
