BHAINI BAGHA, an old village 10 km north of the district town of Mansa (29° 59`N, 75° 23`E) in the Punjab, has a historical shrine, Gurdwara Rakabsar Patshahi Nauvlri. It is said that as Guru Tegh Bahadur was proceeding from Khiala towards Dikkh, a strap of the saddle stirrup, rakabin Punjabi, broke. He stopped to get the stirrup mended by the village cobbler. A memorial in the shape of a platform was raised to mark the spot where the Guru had alighted and sat. Later, a room was built by the side of the platform and the Guru Granth Sahib installed in it.
