Tur

Tur is a village 9 km south-west of Khadur Sahib in Amritsar district of the Punjab. It claims to have a historical shrine, Gurdwara Patshahi Dusari, dedicated to Guru Angad (1506-52) who, according to local tradition, first came here from Khadur Sahib at the insistence of local peasants, who were being misguided by an ascetic. From here the Guru went on to Khan Chhapri. A simple shrine established there was replaced by a gurdwara raised by Bhai Nattha Singh at the beginning of the 20th century. The present buildings within a two acre walled compound were constructed during the 1960's through Kar Seva. The sanctum is at one end of a marble floored hall. Above the sanctum is a square domed room topped by a goldplated pinnacle. The Gurdwara is maintained by the local sangat.
