History & significance

A gurdwara near Kiratpur marking where Baba Gurditta, son of Guru Hargobind and father of Guru Har Rai, died and was cremated on 15 March 1638. It is also kept in memory of Baba Kesra Singh.

Sthala katha — the legend

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.
