It is believed that the Guru visited this region during one of his long journeys (Udasis) to spread the message of oneness and equality. The Gurdwara serves a s a sanctuary for those seeking peace and divine blessings. The main prayer hall houses the Guru Granth Sahib, where Gurbani Kirtan is performed daily. The atmosphere is filled with devotion, and the sound of the Nagara (traditional drum) signals the start of prayers. Like all Gurdwaras, it features a Langar Hall where free meals are served to everyone regardless of caste or religion, embodying the Sikh principle of Sewa. The local Sikh community actively participates in the upkeep of the shrine. It is a place where history meets spirituality, providing a sense of identity to the people of Mansa. The Gurdwara is particularly crowded on Sundays and during Gurpurab celebrations. Its location in the city makes it easily accessible for travelers and residents alike. The tranquil environment inside the complex offers a stark contrast to the bustling market outside.
