Amargarh

AMARGARH, village 3 km east of Goniana Mandi (SOMS`N, 74°54`E) in BATHINDA district of the Punjab, has an old shrine, Gurdwara Vidyasar Patshahi Satvin, dedicated to GURU Har Rai (163061) who, according to local tradition, visited the site during his stay at Bhokhari, since renamed Har Raipur. Amargarh was then called Jhablutti. The shrine was looked after by a line of Udasi priests until the early 20th century. The present building of the Gurdwara, constructed in 1912, comprises a divan hall with a verandah on three sides. The Gurdwara is managed by a committee of the local SANGAT.
