GHULAL

GHULAL, an old village in Ludhiana district, 8 km west of Samrala (30°50`N, 76°ll`E), claims a historical shrine dedicated to Guru Gobind Singh. This Gurdwara is not included in older lists of Sikh historical shrines, but local tradition indicates that Guru Gobind Singh, on his way from Machhivara to the interior ofMalva country, stopped in this village for a while before proceeding to Lall. The Gurdwara stands on a mound inside the village said to be the site of an older shrine.

Close to the hall, there is a lowdomed square room on a high plinth. This is believed to be the exact spot where the Guru first alighted. The Gurdwara is managed by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee through a village committee.
