Gurdwara Sadabarat is situated on Nangal Road. It is said to have been built in 1930. The place where Gurudwara Sada Barat now stands was an important halting place for merchants and other travellers coming from and going to hilly areas. It is said that even Guru Nanak Dev stayed at this place while returning from Kiratpur Sahib after meeting Pir Buddan Shah there. Later on Guru Hargobind halted at this place while proceeding from Kartarpur to Kiratpur Sahib. Thereafter, Guru Har Rai and Guru Har Krishan, Guru Tegh Bahadur and Guru Gobind Singh also frequently visited the place.
Keeping in view the importance of the place, Raja Bhup Singh, the ruler of Ropar started Langar (Community Kitchen) which was served day and night to visitors; therefore this place came to be known as Gurudwara Sada Barat (Sada means always and Barat means marriage party). The raised platform from where Raja Bhup Singh would serve food to the people still exists. A big festival is held here annually on the occasion of Lohri-Maghi in the month of January.
