LAHILI KALAN

LAHILI KALAN, village 15 km southeast of Hoshiarpur (31°32`N, 75°55`E) in the Punjab, has an historical shrine, Gurudwara Jand Sahib Patshahl VII, raised in honour of Guru Har Rai, who visited the site during a journey from Kiratpur to Kartarpur. The Gurdwara is a high ceilinged hall, with a square sanctum in the centre. Above the sanctum is a domed room with a goldplated pinnacle and umbrella shaped final topped by a khanda. The jand (Prosopis specigera) tree believed to have existed since the time of Guru Har Rai`s visit and lending its name to the Gurdwara is about 30 metres west of the main building.
