BHAGRANA, village 20 km from Rajpura (30° 28`N, 76° 37`E), in Patiala district, is celebrated for its Gurdwara Nauvin Patshahi. Some old accounts assign this shrine to the neighbouring village of Dadu Majra, but it falls now within the revenue limits of Bhagrana. Guru Tegh Bahadur halted here in the course of one of his journeys through this region. Two Sikhs, Bhai Amaru and Bhai Diala, served him with devotion.
DUDDHI, a village 7 km to the southwest of Ladva (29° 59`N, 77° 3`E) in Kurukshetra district of Haryana, has a historical shrine, Gurdwara Diorhi Sahib, dedicated to Guru Tegh Bahadur. As he was travelling in those parts, the Guru was invited by the inhabitants to visit their village. By this they wished to expiate a misdemeanour they had committed. Guru Tegh Bahadur accepted their invitation and gave them his blessing. The villagers constructed a platform to commemorate his visit.
