It marks the site where Guru Gobind Singh put up on his way from Dina to Kot Kapura in December 1705. According to a Sakhl Pothi, residents of Baihbal and Saravan villages took some of the Sikhs accompaning Guru Gobind Singh to their homes for meals. As they returned to the camp, Guru Gobind Singh asked each one of them what he had been given to eat.
One of them, Mailagar Singh by name, answered, "I have enjoyed the best feast of my life," but would not say more. The Guru thereupon sent for the host who had entertained Mailagar Singh. He shyly confessed that he was so poor that he could offer to his guest nothing better than some dried ptiu, fruit of the van tree (Quercus incana), soaked in warm water. The Guru praised the host who had offered in hospitality all he had and the guest who was content with whatever he had been given.
The Gurdwara is an old two storeyed building on the eastern edge of the village of Gurusar. The sanctum, 5 metres square, is on the ground floor. The walls are painted with scenes from Hindu mythology while the walls of the room above are decorated with pictures of the Sikh Gurus and some old mahants or custodians of the shrine. The Gurdwara, endowed with 40 acres of land, is now controlled by Nihangs of the BUDDHA Dal. Besides the daily prayers, special divans are held on the first of every Bikrami month.

Gurudwara Darbar sahib"Tuti gandi) (muktsar)
Sri Darbar Sahib is the principle shrine at Muktsar. This town commemorates the martyrdom of the Fourty Muktas, or the Liberated Ones. It is associated with the Tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji. During the siege of Anand Pur Sahib, a group of Sikhs from the Majha contingent had decamped after declaring that they had no claim to being the Guru's Sikhs. However, when they returned to their homes, they were condemned by everyone, including their womenfolk. Under the guidance of a courageous lady, Mai Bhago, they went in search of the Guru who had in the meanwhile left Anandpur Sahib. With Mughal forces in hot pursuit, Guru Gobind Singh Ji moved towards the Malwa region. He reached Khidrana Ki Dhab, which at that time was the only source of water in the area. While Guru Ji was resting here, the pursuing Mughal army came closer. At this time, the group of forty sikhs who were searching for the Guru to seek forgiveness, also reached there. Quickly taking stock of the situation, this group of Sikhs fought ferociously to the last man but not before forcing the host to retrieve. In the fierce battle, all of them died except two. Guru Ji also took part in the battle, shooting arrows at the enemy from a small hillock, or tibbi. After the Mughals retreated, Guru Sahib went to the battle field. He held each one of his Sikhs in his lap and blessed them. When he reached Bhai Mahan Singh, one of the two survivors, he asked him for any boon. Bhai Mahan Singh while dying responded by asking Guruji to forgive them and to tear the letter they had signed at AnandPur Sahib disowning him as their Guru. Guru Sahib immediately granted the request, took out the letter of renunciation and tore it, thus liberating the forty Sikhs. Mahan Singh breathed his last in the Guru's lap. Mai Bhago, who lay seriously ill, recovered and served the Guru for many years. This event is remembered even in the Ardas performed by Sikhs every day. By tearing the letter, Guru Sahib retied the knot between himself and his Sikhs. This is referred to as Tuti Gandi, or the Broken Ties Retied. The birthdays of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Shahidi Purab of Guru Arjun Dev Ji are celebrated with great fervour here. Besides, the Magh Mela is organized on the 12th and 13th of January to commemorate the sacrifice of the Forty Muktas. Diwali and Baisakhi are also celebrated.

The Mughal soldier was killed on the spot. A small Manji sahib was constructed at this place and named Datan Sar (datan means toothbrush). Later on, a gurdwara was constructed here. The grave of the Mughal soldier is also present near the gurdwara. The birthdays of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru Gobind Singh Ji and shahidi purab of Guru Arjun Dev Ji are celebrated with great fervour here.

Gurudwara Patshahi Duji(Sarainaga,Muktsar)
SARAI NANGA, village 16 km northeast of Muktsar (30"29'N, 74°31'E) in Faridkot district of the Punjab, enjoys sanctity as the birthplace of Guru Angad, Nanak II. Guru Nanak himself is also believed to have visited it during his travels in these parts. Soon after Guru Angad's birth in 1504, the village, then known as Matte di Sarai, was plundered and destroyed at the time of one of Babar's invasions, and his family had to leave it for good. A small shrine was later raised upon the ruins of the old Sarai in honour of Guru Angad. It was probably looked after by nanga sadhus initially for which reason the habitation came to be known as Nange di Sarai or, officially, Sarai Nanga. The village now claims two gurdwaras, both of historical importance.
GURDWARA JANAMASTHAN PATSHAHl II on a high ground to the east of the village was reconstructed through karseva or voluntary labour by followers of Sant Gurmukh Singh during the 1950's. The sanctum, with the Guru Granth Sahib seated on a canopied seat of white marble, marking the old shrine, opens on a 14 metre square marble floor hall. The terrace around the hall is also marbled, as is the exterior surface of the walls. Above the sanctum is a square pavilion with wide curved coping and topped by a pinnacled dome. The roof corners are decorated with marble kiosks. The hall corners facing the adjacent sarovar have large kiosks on top of semioctagonal pilasters. The Gurdwara is affiliated to the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, but is still managed by karseva sants who have now taken up reconstruction of the second historical shrine in the village

Gurudwara Mehdiana sahib (Jagraon)
Guru Gobind Singh Ji came here while traveling across the Malwa region. During the Mughal rule, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji while delighting the followers of Raikot, Lamme Jattpure & Maanke village, reached Mehdiana Dhaab (A natural water reservoir) and stopped to look at the holy water of the Dhaab. The nearest habitation was 2-3 miles away. At this Dhaab, Guru Gobind Singh Ji & the followers did Daatan (Piece of a twig of tree used as tooth brush) and took baths. Then the Dasvin Guru began his morning's meditation. Bhai Daya Singh Ji asked his Guru that as the Singhs and their families were now parted, what would be the next step they should take.
Guru Sahib instantly put the Teg on his chest and said, "Bhai Daya Singh I have returned the Debt and have become victorious."
Guru Sahib Ji answered Bhai Daya Singh's question with humbleness saying, "Singh and Tiger are king of the same jungle. Singhs should keep faith in Almighty." Bhai Daya Singh Ji again requested Guru Ji on behalf of all the Sikh followers to which Guru Gobind Singh Ji humbly said:
"Singho Dhaende Desh Da Jadon Sahara Nahin Si Udo Pita Nu Desh Te Variya Main|
Mata Gujri Sirhind De Vich Gujri Sama Gujareya Jiven Gujareya Main|
Char Puttar San bakshe Parmatma Ne Oh Vi Joda Joda Kar Ke Variya Main|
Mainu Shahenshaw Na Tusi Kaho Singho Kishtan naal Hai Karza Utareya Main|"
Sangat is bigger than Guru".
