Gurudwara Sheeshganj Sahib Patshahi 9 (Taraori)

The Gurudwara is built on the site, where Bhai Jaita (Rangreta Guru ka Beta) rested the sheesh (Head) of the Sri Guru Tegh Bhadur Ji. A beautiful Gurudwara has been reconstructed recently.

The village of Taraori is eleven miles north of Karnal. Prince Azam of Aurangzeb was born here and the place was renamed as Azamabad. Aurangzeb constructed a wall around the town, a mosque and a tank which exist to this day. The village being on the main highway of the Moghul times, also has a serai. The old royal serai appears to have been used by the Sikhs as a fort, now lying in a dilapidated condition. Because of the railway station nearby, the place has developed as an important assembling market chiefly for paddy grown in the surrounding area, and has some rice husking mills. Basmati rice grown here is the finest in the country and is exported to foreign countries.
