BIBHAUR,

BIBHAUR, village close to Naya Nangal in Ropar district of the Punjab, is sacred to Guru Gobind Singh who resided here for some time in 1700-01 at the invitation of the Rao (chief) of Bibhaur. The commemorative Sikh shrine here is called Gurdwara Bibhaur Sahib. The present complex was raised during the 1960`s under the supervision of Sant Seva Singh of Anandpur. The divan hall, with the sanctum marked off by four huge pillars at the far end, stands on a marble topped terrace.

Above the sanctum is a domed room with a gold plated pinnacle on top. Guru ka Langar is to the north of the main building. An imposing gateway was erected during the 1980`s. The Gurdwara is administered by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee. Besides the observance of major Sikh anniversaries, a religious fair is held on 1921 September every year.
