History

It was during the year 1728 that Preetam Balaji along with Gujri Mata as well as his family had started from the Patna Sahib till Anandpur Sahib. It was then only that all the residents of Patna had been accompanying the Guru Gobind ji and that time his age was only five years old. People had to walk for 12 miles and then only they can reach the Danapur and communities over there were welcomed warmly. The story behind the name of this place is as "Handi" is that Mata Jasni had cooked Khichdi for Guruji in handi (pot) and had requested Guruji to have it. Since then, Khichdi was served to all the people there and the place of Mata was converted into Dharamshala and then that place was known as the and since then the Sahib.
