Gurdwara Koohni Sahib

Koohni Sahib Originally known as Bageecha Sahib, this shrine ( Gurudwara ), situated on the Chandigarh-Mansa Devi road, is not so popular as yet, although it has a unique history. Guru Gobind Singh and his army stayed here for a week. It is said the Guru came here especially to meet Mata Raj Kaur, wife of Ram Rai, who left Dehradun in order to stay away from her husband who was extending support to the Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb. Since Guru Gobind Singh rested here on his elbow, the shrine is named Koohni Sahib. Devotees assemble here on the death anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev and on 26th January every year, on the occasions of Jor Mela and the death anniversary of Sant Baba Mehar Singh.

GURUDWARA SHRI KOOHNI SAHIB is situated in Chandigarh City. It is situated near Mansa Devi Complex in Mani Majra Village Bhainsa Tiba. SHRI GURU GOBIND SINGH JI came here from Narainpur. Anpurna, a Brahmin Girl used to meditate for GURU SAHIB. GURU SAHIB came to fullfill her wish to see GURU SAHIB. GURU SAHIB meditated on this place for 17 Pahar.( 1 Day= 4 Pahar 1 Night= 4 Pahar). Anapurna served GURU SAHIB and other singhs with food. GURU SAHIB blessed her that a Mandir on your name will be built here before GURUDWARA SAHIB and Who soever will come here with devotion, his wishes will come true.
