Gurudwara Gurusar Satlani

GURUSAR  SATLANI,  GURDWARA,  1.5 km south of the railway station named after it, is within the revenue limits of Hoshiarnagar village in  Amritsar  district of the Punjab. The shrine marks the spot where  Guru  Hargobind (15951644), travelling from  Lahore  to  Amritsar,  made a night's halt near a pond. According to local tradition,  Guru   Gobind Singh  (16661708) himself appointed one of his  Sikhs,   Bulaka Singh,  as the custodian of this shrine. The shrine was richly endowed by  Sikh  rulers and chiefs during the first half of the nineteenth century. The management of the  Gurdwara  along with its vast farmlands passed to the Shiromani  Gurdwara  Parbandhak Committee in 1925. In 1974, it was entrusted for renovation and reconstruction to  Sant Marigal Singh. The main hall is on the ground floor of the sixstoreyed building. The water of the old pond, since properly lined and used as  sarovar, is believed to have medicinal properties for curing skin diseases. A largelyattended annual fair is held to coincide with the fullmoon day of Bhadori (AugustSeptember) .
