AGAUL, village 10 km from Nabha (30°22\'N, 76°9\'E) in Patiala district, has a historical shrine called Gurudwara Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib. In the course of a journey through this area, Guru Tegh Bahadur came and sat here under a pipal tree on the bank of a pond. The old pipal tree is not there now, but the pond, called Ram Talai and believed to possess medicinal properties for curing skin diseases, has since been lined and converted into a small sarovar, holy tank.
BHAVANIGARH (30° 14`N, 76° 3`E), also called Dhode locally, is a market town 36 km west of Patiala. Guru Tegh Bahadur arrived here from Alo Harakh in the course of a journey through the Malva region. His devotees constructed a platform around two pipal trees under which the Guru had sat.. A gurdwara, called Gurdwara Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji Patshahi Nauvin, was constructed by the local sangat in 1916.
