SHRI GURU NANAK DEV JI during his preaching tours, came 5 times to this place. GURU JI used to stay at BIBI BHARAI’s house.

KILLA SAHIB : This place was house of a weaver which was purchased later on by Guru Sahib. According to the SAKHI, GURU AMARDASS JI brought water for sacred bath of SHRI GURU ANGAD DEV JI for twelve years from the river Beas at Goindwal Sahib. During this service of bringing water, GURU AMARDASS JI fell striking against the peg of the weaver. After hearing the noise of falling of SHRI GURU AMARDASS JI, the weaver said ” Who’s there?”. The weaver’s wife said ” Who else might be there. He might be the homeless Amroo” & spoke some objectionable words against GURU ANGAD DEV JI. GURU JI could not tolerate these words & said casually ” Mad, you may say whatever you like against me but donot say anything against my GURUJI. The weaver’s wife actually became mad & with the sacred touch of feet of GURU SAHIB, the peg turned green & developed into a full grown “KAREER” tree. With time, the tree lost its life & till now its preserved in a frame for the devotees to pay tributes at this sacred place. GURU AMARDASS JI was crowned as GURU by BABA BUDDA JI. GURU ANGAD DEV JI gave twelve blessings and ordered ti install the sacred town GOINDWAL SAHIB as a place of service.
