Gurudwara Panjokhra Sahib
This Gurudwara commemorates the visit of the eighth Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Harkrishan Sahib Ji, in 1664. While on his way to Delhi, the Guru stayed here for three days. It is here that a proud Brahmin named Lal Chand challenged the young Guru's wisdom. In response, the Guru had a humble, illiterate wa ter-carrier named Chhaju Ram explain the deep philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita by merely touching him with a stick. This miracle humbled the scholar and established the Guru's divine authority. The Gurudwara is now a massive complex with a large Sarovar and a grand double-story building. It is one of the most visited shrines in the district, known for its spiritual vibrations and the story of humility it represents.
