Gurdwara Suhela Ghora Sahib is situated in pail village near the Anandpur Sahib City in Ropar Distt. Pail, a village now in ruins near Ganguval, 5 km north of Anandpur along Anandpur Guru ka Lahore road, still has a shrine commemorating Guru Hargobind's visit in 1635. Here one of his favourite stallions, Jan Bhai, wounded in the battle of Kartarpur, finally collapsed and died.

History

Krori Mal, a sikh from Kabul, was a dispile of Guru Hargobind Sahib. He gifted two horses to Guru Hargobind, Dilbag & Gulbaag. Guru Hargobind named them Bhai Jaan & Suhela. When Guru Hargobind blessed Mata Sulakhani with son, he was sitting on this Suhela Ghora. Guru Ji fought Battle against mughals in Kartarpur Sahib on this Suhela Ghora. Suhela Ghora was wounded in the battle. Guru Har Gobind stayed at Nawashahar for atleast one month as Suhela Ghora was undergoing treatment. Later Guru Har Gobind started from Nawashahar to Kiratpur Sahib and when they reached this place Suhela Ghora left for his heavenly aboad. At the time of battle Suhela Ghora was hit with 600 bullets, and when it was creamated nearly 125 kg of cast metal was found in the body. Guru Har Gobind himself performed ardas and cremated Suhela Ghora here.
