NAGRA

NAGRA, village 16 km east of Sunam (30°7`N, 75°48`E) in the Punjab, was, according to local tradition, visited by Guru Hargobind and Guru Tegh Bahadur. A modest shrine built of baked bricks honoured the memory of the latter, but it is no longer in existence. The one dedicated to Guru Hargobind, however, survives. It is called Gurdwara Akal Buriga Patshahi Chhevin, and is situated at the southern end of the village. Its main hall, constructed in the 1960`s, contains within it the domed sanctum marking the site of the original shrine. Guru ka Langar is still housed in the old rooms behind the hall. The Gurdwara is looked after by Nihangs of the Buddha Dal.
