KALAUR

KALAUR, 9 km east of Bassi Pathanari (30°42`N, ^^`E) in Fatehgarh Sahib district, claims a historical shrine dedicated to Guru Tegh Bahadur. A raised platform was constructed on the top of the ruined mound in the village to commemorate the visit of Guru Tegh Bahadur who made a brief halt here on his way from Kiratpur into the plains of the Malva. This was later replaced by a Mariji Sahib. The present building was constructed only in 1968. It consists of a rectangular hall, with a verandah on two sides. The Guru ka Larigar is close by and a row of rooms for the pilgrims at the foot of the mound. A local committee administers the Gurdwara. Kalaur is also important now as the birth place of Giani Ditt Singh, one of the pioneers of the Singh Sabha movement.
