RAMPURA KALAN

RAMPURA KALAN

RAMPURA KALAN, a village in Lahore district of Pakistan hardly 1.5 km from the Indo Pakistan border, had a historical Gurdwara commemorating the visit of Guru Hargobind (1595-1644), who once halted here during one of his journeys between Amritsar and Lahore. The shrine which had been looked after by a line of Udasi priests came under the control of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee during the Gurdwara Reform movement of the 1920`s, but had to be abandoned at the time of mass migrations caused by the partition of the Punjab in 1947.
