RAILON

RAILON

RAILON, village 9 km to the southeast of Bassi Pathanari (30° 42`N, 76° 25`E) in Fatehgarh Sahib district, was, according to local tradition, visited by Guru Tegh Bahadur at the request of its inhabitants. A shrine was established here and it continued to be looked after by Udasi sadhus until the control passed to the Sikhs of the village. They built a new complex which is now known as Gurdwara Navin Patshahi. It comprises a square hall with a verandah in front. The sanctum replacing the old Manji Sahib is in the centre of the hall and has a low dome over it. The Gurdwara is managed by the village committee.
