This Gudwara, which was once in the town of Lehal, is now part of
Patiala city. It was visited by Guru Tegh Bahadur on January 24, 1672
who sat under a banyan tree by the side of a pond and prayed for the
inhabitants of the village who had been suffering from a long and mysterious
illness. When they, amazingly recovered, people began to believe in the
healing properties of the water and a shrine was erected there. The
Gudwara was named Dukh Nivaran, which means "eradicator of suffering".
Devotees bathe in the pool in hopes of healing from illness.

Very interesting colors in your new header photo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place and water reflections of the arches - but why did they add that ugly building to such a beautiful one?
ReplyDeletebeautiful reflection and a peaceful photo Carmen, maybe that's one of the reasons where the sense of healing comes in?
