Gurdwara Nivas Asthan Damdama Sahib Patshahi X, a multi-storeyed octagonal tower, adjoining the Darbar Sahib, marks the apartments of Guru Gobind Singh. According to Sakhi Pothi, when Guru Tegh Bahadur arrived at Talwandi Sabo, he halted at the base of a huge ant-hill, which he saluted as he alighted. Questioned by the Sikhs accompanying him, he explained, "A grand temple, nine spears in height, with golden pinnacles will be erected on that spot by the great one who comes after me. Let my shrine be at the foot of his temple." The Guru Granth Sahib is now seated in a domed room at the top floor of the tower.
