It is said that Guru Hargobind Ji had laid the foundation of the small bridge (Pullia) which is adjacent of this Gurdwara. It is a small Gurdwara and has a small building. No other facility exists around the Gurdwara. it is a simple platform inside a low brickwall enclosure, is dedicated to Guru Hargobind who, according to local tradition, stayed here awhile during his travels through these parts.
