Gurudwara Bhatha Sahib
This Gurudwara commemorates the visit of tenth Guru Sri Gobind Singh. There is a fascinating story about this place. Here by the touch of the hoof of Guru's horse the red hot brick kiln (Bhatha) instantaneously cooled down. The then local Pathan Chief, Nihang Khan a sincere devotee of the Guru at a great personal risk, looked after the Guru and his followers. The gurudwara is on the main highway from Chandigarh to Kulu and Kangra valleys. Nearest airport Chandigarh is only 40 km away. It is only at a distance of 5 km from Ropar on the left bank of the river Sutlej, where remains of an old Harappan city of ancient civilization were discovered by Archaeological Department of Government of India. The tourist bungalow on the left bank of the river Sutlej, is frequented by large number of tourists on their way to Bhakra Nangal, Kulu Valley, and Anandpur Sahib.
Gurudwara Bhatta Sahib is a historical Gurdwara where Guru Gobind Singh
came four times. Guru ji came here for the first time in 1745 B.K. He
was returning to Anandpur after winning the battle of Bhangani. It is
said that when Guruji asked for a place to stay, the labourers working
at the Bhatta - Kiln pointed towards the burning `Kiln'. Ignorent
labourers did not realised whom they were talking too. As soon as the
horse of Guru stepped on the burning kiln it became cold. Chaudhary
Nihang Khan the owner of the Bhatta who was in his Qila was informed
about this event. He rushed to Bhatta and to his astonishment saw Guru
Gobind singh Ji sitting on the Bhatta. Chaudhary bowed his head in front
of the Guru and asked for pardon. He took Guruji to his fort and gave
necessary amenities to his army. For the second time Guru Gobind Singh
Ji came to the engagement of Alam Khan the son of Nihang Khan in 1752
BK. For the third time in 1759 after returning from Kurukshetra, Guruji
came to Bhatta Sahib. For the fourth time, the Guru Ji came to Bhatta
after leaving Anandpur Sahib forever in 1761 B.K. Prakash Diwas of 1st,
