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.

Lakhi Shah Wanjara, having lost an ox, is said to have vowed an offering to Guru Tegh Bahadur; when the animal returned he gave nine takas, which the Guru declared equal to nine lakh, and told the villagers to call the place Naulakha.
