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.
