BUTALA, a village 7 km northeast of Baba Bakala (31°34`N, 75°16`E) in Amritsar district of the Punjab, is sacred to Guru Hargobind who, according to local tradition, visited here on 15 Phagun 1665 Bk/10 February 1609. The inhabitants of Butala, with the exception of an old lady and her son who followed the Sikh faith, were the worshippers of Sakhi Sarwar. One day, it is said, the son asked the mother, what offering they would have for the Guru, should he, in answer to their prayers, come to them.
