Gurdwara Baba Gurditta

Sthala katha — the traditional account

What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.

Tradition holds that Gurditta reluctantly brought back to life a cow he had killed while hunting, and that rebuked by his father for working a miracle he withdrew from Kiratpur and died the same day, a neem tree at the spot springing from the twig in his hand.
