Gurudwara Suhava Sahib

The Gurudwara is situated in a tiny village in Churu district, Rajasthan. The monument is 45 kms south-west of Bhadra. It must be noted that this Gurudwara is also known as Suheva in Sikh narrations. However, Gurudwara Suhava Sahib is prominently known as Suhava Sahib. Prominent Guru Gobind Singh, when travelling from Amritsar to southwards in the month of October, 1706 arrived at this place from Nohar through Surpur along old cart road. Guru Gobind Singh made a makeshift camp here along the eastern tributary of a pond. Dharam Singh and Param Singh, sons of Bhai Rup actually used to create the Guru's bed every night.

Not getting a proper bed here, they arranged a useful bedstead with wild grass and tree branches. Both Dharam Singh and Param Singh were blessed by Guru Gobind Singh for their steadfast devotion, dedication and persistent service. Close to the camp there was an ancient jand tree. Pipal had sprouted from this big jand tree. Guru Gobind Singh made a remark that as pipal overgrew barbed jand and rough earth; Khalsa clan will certainly prosper and flourish. Currently, only the ancient pipal tree stands in the premises. It was perhaps during Guru Gobind Singh's personal stay at the place that Guru visited and explored Bhadra.
