Gurudwara Dasvin Patshahi Kurukshetra

Gurudwara Dasvin Patshahi is a shrine in Mohalla Saudagaran in Thanesar, in its north western part, close to the tomb of Sheikh Chilli, who was a legendary humorist. It is a Manji Sahib with a small dome in a house which was once used by Pandit Moti Ram, who had accepted the alms of Guru Gobind Singh, with humility a donkey got loaded with costly presents.

Other Gurudwaras in Kurukshetra

The devotees here had seen Holy Gurus, in attires of celibacy, Guru Hargobind Singhji surprised them with his appearance with arms and weapons with an entourage of armed attendants.
