Gurudwara Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Patshahi Nauvin was built to comemorate the visit by Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji who stopped at this place as he traveled from Bhupal during his travels in the Malwa region. During his stay a local Sikh named Singha Ji devotedly served Guruji. One day Singha Ji asked for permission from Guruji to go to his neighbor's house where a child was getting engaged and collect his share of sweets. Guruji told him that he need not go anywhere from now on, as everyone will send two shares of sweets to him. Hearing this Singha Ji stayed and quietly sat next to Guruji.

After the marriage ceremony, it so happened that the Chaudary (village headman/administrator) inquired about Singha Ji's absence. He was told that Singha Ji had been busy serving a holy man who had come to the village. The Chaudhary directed one of his assistants to go to Singha Ji's home and deliver two shares of sweets. What Guruji had said came true.

From that day onwards whenever there was any function in the village two shares of sweets were always sent to Singha Ji's home. Big congregations are held during the Prakash Divas of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Shahidi Divas of Guru Arjan Dev Ji and Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji are also organized here.
