Popularly known as the Samadh Gurdwara this Gurdwara is built in the memory of Maharani Chand Kaur, the wife of Maharaja Kharak Singh, elder son of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. There was a Samadh of the Maharani until the year 2002 with a small Gurdwara, but now with the consent of the Sikh Sangat the samadh has been demolished and and a Big Gurdwara building along with a Yatri Niwas has been constructed.
