Gurdwara Dukh Nivaran Sahib: Difference between revisions

 

==History==

According to local tradition, supported by an old handwritten document preserved in the [[Gurdwara]], one Bhag Ram, a jhivar of Lehal, waited upon [[Sikh Gurus|ninth guru]] of [[Sikhs]] [[Guru Tegh Bahadur]] during his sojourn at Saifabad (now Bahadurgarh), and made the request that he might be pleased to visit and bless his village so that its inhabitants could be rid of a serious and mysterious sickness which had been their bane for a long time.

 

 

==Gurdwara Dukh Nivaran Sahib Complex==

The building complex sprawls over several acres. The two storey gateway has a collapsible iron gate and black and white marble floor. On the left of the pathway leading to the principal building is a small marble shrine marking the site where Guru Tegh Bahadur had sat under the [[banyan tree]]. The central two storey building, with a domed pavilion on top, is on a raised base having an octagonal domed chamber at each corner. The pinnacled lotus dome on top has a round sun-window on each side with a curved coping, projected horizontally at the ends. There are decorative domed pavilions at the corners and lotus blossoms in leaf in the middle on top of the walls.
