Bibhaur

BIBHAUR, village close to Naya Nangal in Ropar district of the Punjab, is sacred to Guru Gobind Singh who resided here for some time in 1700-01 at the invitation of the Rao (chief) of Bibhaur. The commemorative Sikh shrine here is called Gurdwara Bibhaur Sahib. The present complex was raised during the 1960's under the supervision of Sant Seva Singh of Anandpur. The divan hall, with the sanctum marked off by four huge pillars at the far end, stands on a marbletopped terrace. Above the sanctum is a domed room with a goldplated pinnacle on top. Guru ka Langar is to the north of the main building. An imposing gateway was erected during the 1980's. The Gurdwara is administered by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee. Besides the observance of major Sikh anniversaries, a religious fair is held on 1921 September every year.
