Guru Gobind Singh stayed at Sirsa on his way from Damdama Sahib (Talvandi Sabo) to the South in 1706. He encamped near a pond known as Lakkhi Talao. It was here that Dalla Singh deserted the Guru. From here the Guru went to Khudal to rescue one Gulab Singh, goldsmith, held in captivity by the local Muslim chief. A gurdwara was later raised on the bank of Lakkhi Talao by Maharaja Hira Singh of Nabha. The possession of the gurdwara passed to the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee in 1928. In 1958 Sant Baghel Singh, on a request from some leading Siklis of the area, took up reclamation of the tank and reconstruction of the Gurdwara. The Gurdwara now consists of a hall standing on marbled platform, with a ribbed lotus dome on top. The entire exterior as well as the interior including the dome is covered with white marble. In front of the platform there is a large pavilion with vaulted roof for holding larger assemblies. Within the walled compound are the holy tank, a high school, a serai, and a plain flatroofed room which is Baba Baghel Singh`s samadh. Guru ka Langar is in a separate old building
