Gurdwara Sahibzada Ajit Singh is situated in village bassi kalan in the name of Baba Ajit Singh after the eldest son of Guru Gobind Singh, who, at his father`s bidding, came here on 7 March 1703 at the head of 100 horsemen and rescued a Brahman`s bride forcibly taken away by the village chief, Jabbar Khan. The lady was restored to her husband and Jabbar Khan suitably punished. A simple mud hut that existed here as a memorial was replaced in 1980 by the present building, a 4metre square room with a circumambulatory verandah around it, by SantJavala Singh, who still manages it.
