DHAND, village 15 km southwest of Amritsar (31° 38`N, 74° 52`E) along the ChhehartaJhabal road, is sacred to Guru Hargobind (1595-1644), who once came here to fulfil the wish of an old Sikh, Bhai Langaha. Gurdwara Patshahi Chhevin commemorating the visit stands on the southern outs kirts of the village. Its present building was constructed by Sant Gurmukh Singh Sevavale in 1929. The Guru Granth Sahib is seated on a canopied seat of white marble in the doublestoreyed sanctum in the middle of the divan hall.
DAUDHAR, village 22 km southeast of Moga (30° 48`N, 75° 10`E) in Faridkot district, claims a historical shrine called Gurdwara Patshahi Pahli the Chhevin (first and sixth), commemorating the visits of Guru Nanak and Guru Hargobind, Nanak VI. Situated on a sandy mound amidst cultivated fields about one kilometre to the northwest of the village, the Gurdwara is referred to in the Gurushabad Ratnakar Mahan Kosh as Gobindgarh, but is locally known as simply Kutia, i.e. a cottage.
GOBINDPURA, village 7 km west of Bareta (29°52`N, 75°42`E) in Mansa district of the Punjab, is sacred to Guru Tcgh Bahadur as well as to Guru Gobind Singh. Guru Tcgh Bahadur, says the Sdkhi Polhi, arrived here from Bachchhoana on his way to Gaga and further east. Guru Gobind Singh passed through it on his way back from Akbarpur Khudal to Sirsa in 1706. Separate Mariji Sahibs in the form of platforms dedicated one each to them were built in a single hall.
