GURDWARA NANAKSAR PATSHAH! I marks the site where Guru Nanak sat by a small pond to preach. Most of his audience consisted of Muslim ladies. They complained to him about the skin diseases and polio which were the bane of the village. The Guru advised them to have their children bathed regularly in the pond. The practice proved efficacious, and the villagers raised in Guru Nanak's honour, a memorial. Gurdwara Nanaksarwas constructed recently on that site. The building comprises a rectangular hall, with a square sanctum topped by a lotus dome covered with white glazed tiles. The old pond has been converted into a small octagonal sarovar, and people still believe in the curative powers of its water. The Gurdwara is maintained by the village sangat.
GURDWARA BUNGA SAHIB, dedicated to Guru Hargobind, is a flatroofed rectangular room on the eastern outskirts of the village. It is managed by Nihang Sikhs.
