The Temple was made by Guru Hargobind after the request from the Hindu sangat. He also Made a Maseet which is turned to gurdwara. The Temple have old Minakari. There are statues installed here.

In December, 1634 Guru Hargobind Sahib fought a fierce battle against Mughal forces near the river Beas, although heavily outnumbered, the Guru was victorious. Guru Sahib decided to stay for a while, and soon a settlement grew up at this location. The settlement expanded into a town which became known as Sri Hargobindpur (-pur, being a suffix for "place of"). As the conflict with the Mughals was intensifying the town's defences were fortified. In fact, these fortifications were so solid that the original city walls and many buildings within are still visible today throughout Sri Hargobindpur in Gurdaspur district, Punjab.

Residents of all faiths flocked to the Guru and perceived themselves as heirs to the sixth Guru’s desire to found a secure and secular home on the banks of the Beas. Guru Hargobind ji Let the hindues built their temple.
