BAZIDPUR, village 7 km southeast of Firozpur Cantonment (31° 55`N, 74° 36`E) along the FirozpurLudhiana highway, is sacred to Guru Gobind Singh (1666-1708), who passed through here in 1706 after the battle of Muktsar. Gurdwara Gurusar, formerly known as Tittarsar after a legendary partridge (tittar, in Punjabi), marks the site where Guru Gobind Singh had encamped, and was first constructed in the form of a small Manji Sahib by Bishan Singh Ahluvalia, an official under Maharaja Ranjit Singh (1780-1839).
It was later developed by members of the ruling house of Faridkot. Further renovation and additions have been made in recent decades. The complex now has the domed sanctum, a capacious pavilion as divan asthan, or congregation hall, and the sarovar in one compound, and Guru ka Langar and residential accommodation in another one adjoining it.
