BADDHAL KOTLA, village 4 km northwest of Kiratpur (31° ll'N, 76° 35'E) along Ropar-Nangal road in Ropar district of the Punjab, is sacred to Guru Hargobind, who used to pass through here following the chase. He got a well dug here for the benefit of the villagers. The shrine established near the well formerly known simply as Khuh (lit. well) Sahib or Jhira (lit. thicket) Sahib is now called Gurdwara Mitthasar (lit. pool of sweet water) Jhira Sahib Patshahi Chhevin. The present building constructed in 1945 comprises a square congregation hall, including the sanctum. The old well in front of the main building is still in use. The Gurdwara is maintained by Nihangs of the Buddha Dal.
