DEHLON

DEHLON, village in Ludhiana district, 19 km from the city (30° 54`N, 75° 52`E), claims a historical shrine, Gurdwara Damdama Sahib Patshahi Chhevin. The Gurdwara commemorates the visit of Guru Hargobind, who halted here while on his way fromJaghera to Gujjarval. The building comprises a domed square hall, including the prakash asthan, site where the Guru Granth Sahib is installed during the day and a cubicle where the holy book is placed for the night. A verandah covers the hall on three sides. Rooms for the langar and the granthi are close by. The Shiromani Gurdwara_Parbandhak Committee manages the shrine through a local committee.
