Gurudwara Dukh Nivaran Sahib

Patiala, a prominent city now is buzzing with food streets and shopping streets. Nestled among those busy streets is the Gurudwara Dukh Nivaran Sahib.

History: It is believed that the ninth guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur halted here on request by villagers. The village was once haunted by a mysterious disease and on request of the people, the Guru decided to halt here under a banyan tree by the side of the ond. The illness started to subside and people started to call the place where the Guru was seated as Dukh Nivaran. There is also an old handwritten document preserved in the Gurudwara which states this story. I was not able to see this personally. Till date ,it is believed that taking a dip in the holy tank will cure ailments and get you free of diseases.
