Pir Buddan Shah
Pir Buddan Shah was a great noble Muslim saint who was a resident of Kiratpur before the township was established. It is mentioned that on a black hill on Kehloor Mountain, there lived Pir Buddhan Shah, who had some goats. It is also said that he also kept a lion which daily took the goats grazing into the forest. One day Guru Nanak visited him and discussed spiritual matter with the Pir.
As the time for the return of the lion was approaching, he asked the Guru to leave, as the lion might attack the Guru. But to his utter surprise, as the lion returned it touched the feet of Guru Nanak. The Pir realized the greatness of the personality of Guru Nanak and offered him some fresh milk. Guru sahib took half of the milk and told him to preserve half of the same that would be taken by his Sikh Gurditta by name, who might visit him one day.
He also said that he would establish a town at the site. Years and years passed in waiting. The Pir grew very old. One day Guru Hargobind deputed his son Baba Gurditta to visit the Pir and accept the milk. Baba Gurditta reached him, and asked for milk. Pir who was longing for the time felt very happy and asked him to establish a town at that very site. The town was developed and was named as 'Kirat Pur.' He was praying for the Darshan of Guru Sahib. Guru Hargobind visited. He expressed his gratefulness and left the body for eternal journey.
Tomb of Baba Buddan Shah:- This lies at a distance of about 400 metres east of Gurdwara Baba Gurditta. Baba Buddan Shah was held in great reverence by Baba Gurditta. The legend is that Baba Buddhan Shah lived for as many as 800 years. His tomb was built by Baba Gurditta, who is said to have remarked that whosoever visited his place would certainly pay homage at the tomb of Baba Buddan Shah. It is also said when Baba Buddan Shah was 550 years of age, Guru Nanak Dev met him at the place, where now Gurdwara Charan Kamal stands.
The tomb is believed to enjoy magic powers of healing skin diseases. People offer salt, mustard oil, jharu (broom) at the tomb of the Saint. A fair is held there in the month of October every year.
